ACS Updates: Detailed Languages Spoken at Home and Ability to Speak English for the Population 5 Years and Over: 2017-2021
The American Community Survey's "Detailed Languages Spoken at Home and Ability to Speak English for the Population 5 Years and Older: 2017-2021" tabulation is now available. This tabulation provides data on over 500 individual languages and language groups spoken across the country in 2017-2021 from the ACS. The data are provided at the national and state level. This is the third tabulation the Census Bureau has released beyond the 42 languages and language groups published annually, updating a previous table package released in 2015.
Colorado results show that 83.7 percent of persons over age 5 report speaking English at home, and 11.1 percent report speaking Spanish at home. Together these two language groups account for 94.8 percent of the population over age 5. Persons reporting speaking fourteen European, Asian, and East Asian languages account for the remaining 5.2 percent of the population over age 5. Among persons who report speaking a language other than English at home, two-thirds report speaking English “Very Well.”
These results are available for the nation and for individual states, and are a special tabulation that provides different language categories from those available in the ACS published tables available on the SDO Webpage (Tables C16001, B16002, B16004, and B16005).
