How even is Lockhart from suburb to suburb?

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.

1.4% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 262 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 8.9%; among respondents alone it's 1.6%.

Ranked lists skip broad categories such as "Chinese, nfd", which stay in the totals. National figures are summed from suburbs and sit a touch under the ABS release.
