I'm living in California.
California has a considerable amount of Spanish speaking hispanics for historic reasons.
For greater SF/LA areas, actually non-native English speakers communities are growing very fast due to hi-techs and relatives immigrants.
Just to mention a few:
Monterey Park, 20% whites, 66.9% asians (50% Chinese).
Milpitas, 20% whites, 62.2% asians.
Cupertino, 30% whites, 63.3% asians (20% Chinese, 20% Indians)
Just been to Monterey Park in LA area two weeks ago, and found I can live there naturally even if I can not speak an English word. At the contrast, I think that city would be a bit harsh for non-Chinese speakers...
As another point of reference, one could live in certain parts of Miami their entire life without speaking a word of English, and have minimal (if any) friction. Forget about "spoken at home", we're talking "spoken everywhere" here.
