Earlier this month, I asked a librarian how many Somali-speaking people reside in Eden Prairie. Here's their unedited response:
Dear Library Customer-
I did receive a call back from the Human Rights and Diversity Commission. They said they would have better information following this years Census process and would have something new by the end of this year or early next year. What they could provide right now regarding the Somali population in Eden Prairie was:
265 children registered in the Eden Prairie School District list Somali as the language spoken at home
They estimate that there are 500 Somali families in Eden Prairie.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks for using the Ask a Librarian service
