Language at home

This map shows the language spoken at home by people over the age of five.

The dark green reveals that in these areas 63% to 80% speak a language other than English at home.

Again, this was the 2000 Census map. The ACS survey taken in 2006 estimates that the "Other Than English" group city-wide has grown from 31,106 persons to 38,596.

The percentage has also swelled from 36.4% to 42.2% of the population. The US average is: 19.5% speak another language at home.
