Internal Data
Sacramento County PIR data over the past 5 years reflects that Spanish is the primary language
with about a quarter of enrolled children in Head Start/Early Head Start, which slightly declined
in the past 3 years, as the percentage of Middle Eastern languages (Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Urdu,
Hebrew) identified as the primary language at home significantly increased to 9% in 2018-2019.
All other languages maintained the same percentages in the past five years with approximately 6%
Asian languages (Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmong, Tagalog) and 1% European/Slavic, African and
Pacific Island languages. The following chart shows program data over the past five-year grant
period and languages are spoken at home for both HS and EHS.
