Blank answers matter here. 1,306 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 2.7%. Count them in and it's 11.4%; drop them from the base and it's 2.9%.

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.
