ABS Census 2021 statistical areas (SA2). Boundaries: ABS ASGS 2021.
How to read this Born in the Philippines counts people born there. It does not count their children born in Australia, so the community is larger than this number.Speak Tagalog or Filipino at home counts people of any birthplace. The ABS records Tagalog and Filipino as two separate languages; this figure adds the two. It includes people born in Australia to Filipino families, and leaves out people born in the Philippines who speak English or another Philippine language at home.These are 2021 Census figures, now five years old. The community has likely grown since; we do not show growth because no newer count exists at this level. The ABS slightly adjusts small counts to protect privacy, so treat small numbers as approximate. Areas with fewer than 100 people born in the Philippines are not listed. Each "area" is an ABS statistical area (SA2), which may cover one suburb or several. Areas are listed by the share of residents, not judged or scored. To filter by budget, commute and other communities, use Community match . Guides for other communities are listed on Brisbane community guides .
