2013 Delaware Mapping LEP Populations in Your Community - Number by County

This map illustrates the LEP counties of Delaware with pie charts of the top three LEP counties:

Kent County-Light Yellow Shading

New Castle County-Pale Orange Shading

Sussex County-Pale Orange Shading

Each county is color shaded to indicate the total number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the county. 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 three LEP counties, we have provided a pie chart that breaks down the top five languages spoken in the county (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 county as follows:
