Map of LEP Population by State
Figures use pooled 2013–2017 ACS micro data to improve reliability for smaller states.
Migration Policy Institute (MPI) tabulation of U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey microdata, pooled 2013–2017, via IPUMS USA (University of Minnesota).
LEP = people ages 5+ who speak a language other than English at home and self-report speaking English less than “very well” (“well,” “not well,” or “not at all”).
n/a = not applicable; “–” = estimate suppressed due to small sample size; percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
ACS figures are estimates and may not reflect the current mix in individual facilities; rely on your organization’s most recent internal data for operations.
