ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2021: language used at home, by Statistical Area Level 2, rolled up to Local Government Area. Change is measured from 2016.
A note on method: 479 residents didn't state a language, and this page doesn't count them as speaking one. That's why 13.8% sits below the 51.2% you'd get by counting every blank, and below 22.0% measured across respondents only.
Figures for Laverton itself aren't affected by the small gap between summed suburbs and ABS national totals. Unnamed ABS categories are in every total and out of every ranked list.
