How does Kwinana look on the map?
The shading shows how many residents speak a multicultural languageany language other than English at home, on ABS ASGS 2021 boundaries. Compare Kwinana with its neighbours on the full map.
Data: ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home, summed from Statistical Area Level 2 to council. Changes are against the 2016 Census.
Blank answers matter here. 3,594 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 20.5%. Count them in and it's 28.4%; drop them from the base and it's 22.3%.
Two caveats: summing suburbs leaves out residents with no usual address, so national totals land a little under ABS published figures, and ranked lists leave out broad ABS categories that don't name a language.
