2013 Language Estimates
Before data from the American Community Survey (ACS) are publicly released, data are subject to a review by analysts. Part of the review involves comparing current data to data from previous years. While reviewing the 2013 ACS data, the analysts noticed differences in the language data between 2012 and 2013 that did not fit patterns from previous years. The differences were investigated by Census Bureau staff, and it was determined that they are not due to a data collection or processing error. We believe the estimates of language use and English-speaking ability have been affected by methodological changes to the data collection process. Data users should use caution when comparing 2013 data to data from past years. For more information, read the full 2013 Language Estimates user note.
