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.
1.3% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 434 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 14.9%; among respondents alone it's 1.5%.
National totals here run slightly under ABS published figures, because summing suburbs misses people without a usual address. Broad ABS categories count in the totals but not in the ranked lists.
