ABS Census 2021 statistical areas (SA2). Boundaries: ABS ASGS 2021.
How to read this Born in India counts people born there. It does not count their children born in Australia, so the community is larger than this number.This guide uses country of birth only. Language spoken at home is not shown: people born in India speak Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English and other languages at home, so no single language count would describe the Indian community. 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 India 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 .
