Why the Nepali-community data is shown at district level

ABS QuickStats for Crace does not publish Nepali as a suburb-level top language response. To avoid overstating the data, LoanFi uses the verified Gungahlin district figure: 1,707 people used Nepali at home and 1,639 residents were born in Nepal in the 2021 Census.
