No way Illinois has anybody that doesn't speak English
New York? Fine
The latino belt? Obviously
Washington? Whatever
Illinois? No way
It's okay to know nothing about Chicago but you don't need to advertise it.
Doesn’t seem like they even understand what a big city is like.
As a resident one of my fav things about the city is the mish mash of cultures and languages. Something about everyone being different in their own ways makes me feel safer to be different too.
You know nothing of Illinois. In Chicagoland, pop. 8.9 million, 30% of the population speaks a language other than English at home.
P.S. 20% of the entire state speaks English as a second language
I'm talking about not speaking English, not speaking English as a second language
There are entire communities in Illinois that don’t rely on English on a daily basis. I’m talking about grocery stores, banks, utilities services, pet care, bars, restaurants, houses of worship etc that serve these communities in Spanish predominantly, but also Polish, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, Tagalog.
Iowa doesn't have any color on this map. You are probably seeing Illinois or Minnesota.

Chicago has a huge latino community, as well as Polish and German communities…
Looks like in 2019 about 100,00 residents of Iowa over the age of five have low English proficiency: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/state-profiles/state/language/IA
Now what percentage of that speaks other languages
