Population of the Limited English Proficient (LEP) Speakers by Community District
Many residents of New York City speak more than one language; a number of them speak and understand non-English languages more fluently than English. This dataset, derived from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), includes information on over 1.7 million limited English proficient (LEP) residents and a subset of that population called limited English proficient citizens of voting age (CVALEP) at the Community District level. There are 59 community districts throughout NYC, with each district being represented by a Community Board.

Freshness
The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
OverdueNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset. A refresh you ask for on this page runs anyway.
The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
1 of 9 columns carry a concept; 9 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
