The U.S. Census Bureau has released a new report that provides a demographic profile of Americans who speak only English and who speak a language other than English. The report consists of a number of national- and state-level spreadsheets with data from Census 2000 broken down by type of household, age of householder, education attainment, and income.

Some key findings:
215,423,557 Americans speak only English.
46,951,595 Americans speak a language other than English.
21,320,407 Americans speak English less than "very well."

The report is available at http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/census_2000/007854.html .
