2015 Disability Statistics Annual Report. A Publication of the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Statistics and Demographics
Kraus, Lewis
Institute on Disability, University of New Hampshire
The "2015 Disability Statistics Annual Report" is a companion volume to the "2015 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium." The "Compendium" presents many tables of data, including state and national values and trends over time. The "Annual Report" presents statistics from the "2015 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium" tables to address the following types of questions: (1) How many people with disabilities live in the United States; (2) What is the disability percentage in different age groups; (3) What is the disability percentage for different types of disability; (4) To what extent are people with disabilities employed; (5) What are the earnings for people with and without disabilities; (6) What is the poverty percentage for people with and without disabilities; and (7) Is disability status associated with percentages of smoking, obesity, and binge drinking? The "Annual Report" highlights state and trend data, and complements the detailed tables available in the "Compendium." There is a great deal of variability in disability rates by state and the "Annual Report" includes maps to highlight this information; each map is related to a specific table from the 2015 "Compendium." A specific listing of source data for each figure is included in Appendix B. A glossary of terms is included in Appendix C. [For the "2015 Compendium," see ED583158.]
