Language in Boulder
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language spoken in Boulder, where very few people use a different tongue at home. Only 8% of residents speak another language, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This creates a community where almost everyone shares a common primary language for daily life.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most people here speak only English, making up 72.5% of the population. Just 0.6% of residents speak little or no English, a figure a little below the national average that has barely changed since 2016.
