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.

Note: Within each age group, the different types of disabilities
will not equal 100% because a single person can have more than one
type of disability, and many persons have no disabilities.
