# Rounds to zero. ! Interpret data with caution. 1 Respondents were asked if each child in the household spoke a language other than English at home. If they answered "yes," they were asked how well each child could speak English. Categories used for reporting were "very well," "well," "not well," and "not at all." All those who reported speaking English less than "very well" were considered to have difficulty speaking English. 2 Includes other racial/ethnic groups not separately shown. NOTE: Race/ethnicity categories exclude persons of Hispanic origin unless otherwise specified.
