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.
How the headline share is counted: 61.5% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 82 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 73.9%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 70.2%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.
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.
