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: 152 residents didn't state a language, and this page doesn't count them as speaking one. That's why 34.1% sits below the 44.5% you'd get by counting every blank, and below 38.1% measured across respondents only.
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.
