Wujal Wujal shaded by the share of residents speaking a multicultural languageany language other than English at home. Boundaries are ABS ASGS 2021. See every council on one map.

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.

How the headline share is counted: 39.9% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 16 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 45.7%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 42.3%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.

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.
