Spanish in Boston

About 100,000 Boston residents speak Spanish at home, and nearly half of them speak English less than very well, one of the higher shares among large U.S. cities (Census ACS 2024). Boston is one of the few big cities where Dominicans, not Mexicans or Puerto Ricans, are the largest Hispanic group, followed by Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Salvadorans, Mexicans and Guatemalans. East Boston, Chelsea, Lawrence, Lynn and Revere all have large Spanish-speaking communities, each with its own mix.

Caribbean Spanish from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico sounds quite different from the Central American Spanish common in Chelsea and East Boston, and our schedulers match the interpreter to the speaker. For legal work AMS books interpreters credentialed by the Trial Court's Office of Language Access.

Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include East Boston, Jamaica Plain, Chelsea, Lawrence, Lynn and Revere.
