Description

Definition

This variable identifies "linguistically isolated households." These are households in which either no person age 14+ speaks only English at home, or no person age 14+ who speaks a language other than English at home speaks English "Very well". All members of such a household are considered linguistically isolated, even though children under 14 who speak only English may live there.
