English as a second language and ability to speak English

The Census asks whether a language other than English is spoken at home. People who do speak a language other than English at home are then asked to report how well they speak English.

We've combined the categories of people who speak only English at home with those who speak another language at home but report that they speak English "well." This way we can focus on data about those individuals for whom speaking English is a barrier.
