Title
Tract-level Limited English Proficiency (LEP) for the DVRPC Region [Pennsylvania] {2021}
Description
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is committed to upholding the principles and intentions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and related nondiscrimination statutes in all of the Commission's work, including publications, products, communications, public input, and decision-making processes. Language barriers may prohibit people who are Limited in English Proficiency (also known as LEP persons) from obtaining services, information, or participating in public planning processes. To better identify LEP populations and thoroughly evaluate the Commission's efforts to provide meaningful access, DVRPC has produced this Limited-English Proficiency Plan. This is the data that was used to make the maps for the upcoming plan.Census tables used to gather data from the 2017 - 2021 American Community Survey 5-Year EstimatesACS 2016-2020, Table C16001: Language Spoken at Home by Ability to Speak English for the Population 5 Years and Over.
