Which parts of Litchfield are most multilingual?

The share barely changes across 22 suburbs; Acacia Hills is highest.

Every suburb here has a page of its own.

Figures come from the ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021 (language used at home), aggregated from Statistical Area Level 2 to Local Government Area, with 2016 for comparison.

4.8% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 3,186 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 19.9%; among respondents alone it's 5.6%.

National totals here run slightly under ABS published figures, because summing suburbs misses people without a usual address. Broad ABS categories count in the totals but not in the ranked lists.
