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 | 7,535 | 9.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Other languages | 387 | 0.5% |
| Speak only English, or English very well | 67,845 | 89.5% |
Spanish accounts for 95% of limited-English residents, so Spanish-language service is most of the obligation.
