AK Raw Count Map (Description)

This map illustrates the LEP boroughs of AK with pie charts of the top five LEP boroughs:

Aleutians East Borough – Light Yellow Shading

Anchorage Municipality-Pale Orange Shading

Bethel Census Area-Light Yellow Shading

Fairbanks North Star Borough-Light Yellow Shading

Matanuska-Susitna Borough-Light Yellow Shading

Each borough is color shaded to indicate the total number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the borough. 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). For each of the top five LEP boroughs, we have provided a pie chart that breaks down the top five languages spoken in the borough (according to the total number of each language spoken) with the remaining languages in a sixth category called “All Other Languages”.

Raw Counts:

The colors correspond to the total number of LEP individuals in the borough as follows:

·        Pale White: (<=1K)

·        Light Yellow: (>1K AND <=10K)

·        Pale Orange: (>10K AND <=50K)

·        Orange: (>50K AND <=100K)

·        Dark Orange: (>100K AND <= 250K)

·        Brown: (>250K AND <=750K)

·        Dark Brown: (>750K)

The boroughs in Alaska are shaded to indicate the number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the borough. We have defined LEP persons as individuals five years or older who speak a language other than English at home and who have indicated that they speak English less than very well (LVW). The tables explain the raw count number and percentage of LEP persons by language spoken for Alaska’s top five boroughs.

Each borough in the State of Alaska is color shaded to indicate the total number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the borough. 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). We have provided a pie chart that breaks down the top five languages spoken in the entire State of Alaska (according to the total number of each language spoken) with the remaining languages in a sixth category called “All Other Languages”. The table below explains the raw count number and percentage of LEP persons by language spoken for the State of Alaska.
