About

This web map uses data collected for the American Community Survey (5-year, 2015) to visualize the languages spoken at home in the greater Houston area.

Names and order of languages are based on the the American Community Survey. I apologize in advance for "Other African Languages" and other offensive categories... You can read more about the logic behind the categories of languages at the US Census Bureau.

Partially inspired by Jill Hubley's Languages of NYC.
