The rows presented in American Community Survey tables B16001, C16001, and B16002 have been
updated to reflect changes in the number of people speaking different languages. Geographic
restrictions have been placed on the 5-year estimates for table B16001, to protect the privacy of
speakers of smaller languages. For more information and guidance in comparing estimates from the
2015 and 2016 language tables, please see the user note below:
