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.
2.6% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 113 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 13.7%; among respondents alone it's 2.9%.
Language lists name languages only; residual ABS groups are in the totals. Summed-suburb national totals run a little low.
