Special Tabulation of LEP Information from Census 2000 The Department of Labor has sponsored a special tabulation of Census data on Limited English proficient (LEP) populations as a resource for One Stop Career Centers and other providers of employment and training services. Information is broken out for 39 Census languages and language clusters, and the tabulations are designed to match the service areas of states and local Workforce Investment Areas. Table 1: Total Population, and Table 2: Adults show the number of people who speak a language other than English at home, along with a self-reported measure of how well they speak English. Table 1 includes the entire population age 5 and above, while Table 2 is limited to the population age 18 and above. Table 3: Characteristics is a socio-economic profile of the population that reports speaking English "not very well" or "not at all" with their employment status, occupation, income, earnings and other labor market characteristics. These tables are different from any of the Census Public Use Tables, and have not been published before. Output for each area comes in an Excel workbook containing six pages. In addition to the three tables, you will find:

Please Note: 30 LWIAs with small populations could not be tabulated separately due to Census concerns about confidentiality. On the state LWIA lists, these areas are marked with an asterisk (*). Within each affected state, data for the excluded LWIAs is pooled into a "Balance of State" tabulation. ![]()
