Where does Logan sit on the map of Australia's languages?
The shading shows how many residents speak a multicultural languageany language other than English at home, on ABS ASGS 2021 boundaries. Compare Logan 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. 23,236 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 17.0%. Count them in and it's 23.9%; drop them from the base and it's 18.3%.
People with no usual address fall outside any suburb, which is why the national figure here is a fraction under the ABS one. The council figures aren't affected.
