2012 U.S. National Limited English Proficient (LEP) Population Maps - Percentage by County

US % LEP Map (Description)

Note: This US map contains the counties in all 50 states and the territory of Puerto Rico, each acting as an independent statistical area.

This map is color shaded to indicate the percent of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in each statistical area in the United States. We have defined LEP persons as individuals five 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).

Percentages:

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

• Light Yellow: (<=1%)
• Pale Orange: (>1% AND <=5%)
• Light Orange: (>5% AND <=10%)
• Orange: (>10% AND <=20%)
• Dark Orange: (>20% AND <=40%)
