Language in Back Forest
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant language in Back Forest, where 93.4% of residents speak only English at home. While more people here use a second language than in most similar areas, the community is far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.6% of people use another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This high level of English proficiency is reflected in the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English.
