St. Bernard Parish: Disabilities
Data Tables: People & Household Characteristics, Housing & Housing Costs, Income & Poverty, Transportation, Employment, Educational Attainment, Schools & Testing, Immigration & Language, Disabilities, Health, Public Safety, Voting, Parish Characteristics
The numbers on this page come from the U.S. Census. We've interspersed commentary throughout the page to explain terms that can sometimes be misleading and to give you some ideas on how to use this data.
Who determines
what counts as a disability? Each person who filled out a Census form
determined their own disability status; disabilities were not determined
by a healthcare professional. Visit the definitions,
or click on the term in the data table to learn more about what each type
of disability includes.
