Which parts of Yankalilla are most multilingual?

The 8 suburbs sit close together, Yankalilla at the top.

The suburb names link through to their own figures.

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.

The headline 2.0% counts only residents who named a language other than English. 332 people left the question blank; treat every blank as another language and the figure is 7.7%, while measuring only those who answered gives 2.1%.

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.
