ABS Census 2021 statistical areas (SA2). Boundaries: ABS ASGS 2021.
How to read this Born in Nepal counts people born there. It does not count their children born in Australia, so the community is larger than this number.Speak Nepali at home counts people of any birthplace. Nepali is also spoken at home by some people born in Bhutan, India and elsewhere, so the Nepali count is not a count of people from Nepal.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 Nepal 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 .
