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: 2.5% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 478 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 9.9%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 2.7%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.

Figures for Yarriambiack itself aren't affected by the small gap between summed suburbs and ABS national totals. Unnamed ABS categories are in every total and out of every ranked list.
