2014 Louisiana Mapping LEP Populations in Your Community - Number by Judicial District

Description of LA Judicial District LEP Maps

LA %LEP Map (Description)

This map illustrates the 3 judicial districts of Louisiana:

 Louisiana Eastern District-Pale Orange Shading

 Louisiana Middle District-Light Yellow Shading

 Louisiana Western District-Light Yellow Shading

Each district is color shaded to indicate the percent of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the district.  We have defined LEP persons as individuals 5 years and over who speak a language other than English at home and who have indicated that they speak English less than very well (LVW).  For each judicial district, we have also provided a pie chart that breaks down the top 5 languages spoken in the district (as a percentage of the total number of LEP individuals in the area) with the remaining languages in a 6^th category called “All Other Languages”.

Percentages:

The colors correspond to percentage of LEP individuals in the district as follows:

Pale White: (<=1%)

Light Yellow: (>1% AND <=3%)

Pale Orange: (>3% AND <=5%)

Orange: (>5% AND <=10%)

Dark Orange: (>10% AND <=15%)

Brown: (>15% AND <=25%)

Dark Brown: (>25%)
