Mapping where English is not the language at homeThis map is based on data from the 2006 - 2011 American Community Survey. It allows users to see the percentage of families that speak languages other than English at home, on the county-level.
More than a quarter of counties in the United States have at least one in 10 households where English is not the language spoken at home. Spanish is, by far, the most common language other than English spoken in the home, especially on the West Coast, in the Southwest, the Eastern urban corridor and other big cities. Native American languages are also common in the West, as is French around New Orleans and in some counties in the Northeast. German is a common language in some Midwestern and Western areas.
