- Each percentage is the share of a suburb speaking a language other than English at home, over the number of people. 13 suburbs in all.
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. 978 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 3.4%. Count them in and it's 9.2%; drop them from the base and it's 3.6%.
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.
