Language access
Residents age 5 and over who speak English less than “very well”. Agencies receiving federal funds must provide meaningful access for them; this is the population the obligation covers.
Residents 5+ with limited English
| Spanish speakers | 12,867 | 6.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Other languages | 3,107 | 1.6% |
| Speak only English, or English very well | 183,485 | 92.0% |
Spanish accounts for 81% of limited-English residents, so Spanish-language service is most of the obligation.
