Note

Diarykeeper language classification is based on the answer to the language question asked of the household member who agrees to do the survey and about each of the other household members during the placement call:

“Thinking about the languages (you/he/she) use(s) in the home, would you say (you/he/she) speak(s)…

ONLY SPANISH in the home,
mostly Spanish but some English,
mostly English but some Spanish,
or ONLY ENGLISH in the home?”
DO NOT READ: Both Equally”

*Diarykeepers are classified as Spanish Primary if the response is “only Spanish” or “mostly Spanish.”

In-tab diarykeeper's information is matched to placement information for language assignment and reporting.

Report users should note that the percentage reported for each language group applies only to the Arbitron Hispanic in-tab sample and may not reflect the language mix of the entire Hispanic population in each market.
