LANGUAGE AND SERVICE ACCESS
More than 110 languages are spoken in Ohio, however, language prevalence varies widely throughout the state
and some languages are more prominent than others depending on the county, so reviewing local language data is essential.
The American Community Survey (ACS) provides an estimate of English language proficiency. The ACS estimates that 1.35% percent of the total state population (146,881 people) over the age
of five speaks another language besides English at home and speak English less than “very well”.
