How many people speak Spanish at home?
According to the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2024 one-year estimates, table C16001), about 44.9 million US residents aged five and over speak Spanish at home, and about 18.4 million of them speak English less than "very well". Someone who cannot make themselves understood tends to try the next business, so a contact point in their own language is worth having wherever you serve many Spanish-speaking households.
