HIGHLIGHTS
- Those who use a language other than English as their primary language nearly tripled in the last four decades,
- Over 41 million people aged five or older speak Spanish at home
- In 1989 it was 10%, that is how rapidly it is growing.
- Linguistic data like this is a useful way for organizations of both the private and public sectors to gauge the need for language access across the nation.
According to a report by the US Census Bureau, individuals who primarily speak a language other than English at home make up about 22% of US residents now (that is, 67.8 million people), compared to just 10% (23.1 million) in 1980.
While the number of people who primarily use English has also grown since 1980, that growth has been less marked.
And the number of foreign language speakers nearly tripled in four decades, the number of English speakers grew by just around 25%.
Hope you find this interesting.
