Recent Census population estimates show that New York suffered a bigger population decline than any other state between 2018 and 2019.
But despite that drop, New York City continues to be a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis. One example of NYC's vibrancy is the plethora of languages spoken across the five boroughs.
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey provides a picture of several demographic, economic, and social characteristics of the US population. One of the questions on the survey asks respondents what language they mainly speak at home.
