Description of NY LEP Maps

NY Raw Count Map (Description)

This map illustrates the LEP counties of New York with pie charts of the top five LEP counties:

Bronx County-Brown Shading

Kings County-Brown Shading

Nassau County-Dark Orange Shading

New York County-Brown Shading

Queens County-Brown Shading

Each county is color shaded to indicate the total number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the county. We have defined LEP persons as individuals five years and over who speak a language other than English at home and who have indicated that they speak English less than very well (LVW). For each of the top five LEP counties, we have provided a pie chart that breaks down the top five languages spoken in the county (according to the total number of each language spoken) with the remaining languages in a sixth category called “All Other Languages”.

Raw Counts:

The colors correspond to the total number of LEP individuals in the county as follows:

Pale White: (<=1K)
Light Yellow: (>1K AND <=10K)
Pale Orange: (>10K AND <=50K)
Orange: (>50K AND <=100K)
Dark Orange: (>100K AND <= 250K)
Brown: (>250K AND <=750K)
Dark Brown: (>750K)

The counties in New York are shaded to indicate the number of limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the county.
