Section I: Introduction
	

Overview. Statistics are a powerful tool—in research, policymaking, program evaluation, and 

advocacy. They are used to frame the issues, monitor current circumstances and progress, 

judge the effectiveness of policies and programs, make projections about the future, and 

predict the costs of potential policy changes. 

Statistics about the population with disabilities and about the government programs that serve 

people with disabilities—disability statistics—are often difficult to find. Numerous government 

agencies generate and publish disability statistics, and as result, disability statistics are 

scattered and buried in documents and Web sites all across the Federal government. 

The Disability Statistics Compendium is the first of what is intended to be an annual publication 

of statistics on people with disabilities and government programs that serve the population 

with disabilities and is modeled after the Statistical Abstracts of the United States, published 

yearly by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Compendium is designed to serve as a 

reference guide to government publications. At the bottom of each table, the source of data 

appearing in each table is presented. These referenced sources contain additional statistical 

and information about the way the data were collected and the statistics were generated. 

Topics. This publication, the first Compendium, focuses on state-level statistics published by 

Federal agencies, and presents some time-trend data provided in the last few tables. Topics 

covered in this year’s Compendium include: 

population size, 

employment, 

earnings from work, 

educational attainment, 

health behaviors, 

health care coverage, 

Supplemental Security Income, 

special education, 

monthly employment, and 

prevalence of disability, 

poverty, 

enrollment in education, 

self-reported health status, 

immunization, 

continuous health care provision, 

Social Security Disability Insurance, 

vocational rehabilitation, 

monthly labor force participation. 

In addition, there is a section called “Recently Released Statistics” that contains statistics that 

were so recently issued that it was difficult to integrate them with the other statistics in time for 

the publication of this Compendium. 

Each year, the Compendium will be updated to reflect the statistics published in the previous 

year. Moreover, future issues of the Compendium will be expanded to incorporate additional 

statistics, as well as, data from new sources and publications. 

Additional Resources. A glossary is provided to assist in the interpretation of the statistics 

contained in the Compendium. In addition, assistance in interpreting statistics and locating 

additional statistics is available via our toll-free number, 866-538-9521.

Glossary

Ambulatory Disability (2008 ACS): In the 2008 ACS, individuals five or more years old who

responded “yes” when asked if they had “serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.”

American Community Survey (ACS): The American Community Survey is a large,

continuous demographic survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau that will provide

accurate and up-to-date profiles of America’s communities every year. Annual and multi-year

estimates of population and housing data are generated for small areas, including tracts and

population subgroups. This information is collected by mailing questionnaires to a sample of

addresses.

Base Population: The sum of a population or an estimate used as the root for evaluation

purposes. Typically, the last Census count or the estimate from a previous date is used.

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS): The Behavioral Risk Factor

Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a state-based system of health surveys that collects

information on health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access

primarily related to chronic disease and injury. BRFSS was established in 1984 by the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); currently data are collected monthly in all 50 states,

the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. More than 350,000

adults are interviewed each year, making the BRFSS the largest telephone health survey in the

world. States use BRFSS data to identify emerging health problems, establish and track health

objectives, and develop and evaluate public health policies and programs. Many states also

use BRFSS data to support health-related legislative efforts.

Civilian: A person not in active-duty military.

Cognitive Disability (2008 ACS): In the 2008 ACS, individuals who indicated “yes” when

asked if due to a physical, mental, or emotional condition, they had “serious difficulty

concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.”

Current Population Survey: The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey of

about 50,000 households conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor

Statistics. This survey is the primary source of information on the labor force characteristics

of the U.S. population and provides estimates for the nation as a whole and serves as part

of model-based estimates for individual states and other geographic areas. . The sample is

scientifically selected to represent the civilian noninstitutionalized population. Individuals are

asked questions about the employment status of each member of the household 15 years of

age and older, but published data only focuses on those ages 16 and over.

Estimates obtained from the CPS include employment, unemployment, earnings, hours of

work, and other indicators. They are available by a variety of demographic characteristics

including age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. They are also available

by occupation, industry, and class of worker. Supplemental questions to produce estimates

on a variety of topics including school enrollment, income, previous work experience, health,

employee benefits, and work schedules are also often added to the regular CPS questionnaire.

CPS data are used by government policymakers and legislators as important indicators of our

nations’s economic situation and for planning and evaluating many government programs.

They are also used by the press, students, academics, and the general public.

Disability Status (BRFSS): An individual is classified as having a disability based on answers

to the following questions: (1) Are you limited in any way in any activities because of physical,

mental, or emotional problems? and (2) Do you now have any health problem that requires you

to use special equipment, such as a cane, a wheelchair, a special bed, or a special telephone?

(Include occasional use or use in certain circumstances.).

Disability Status (CPS): The CPS uses a set of six questions to identify persons with

disabilities. A response of “yes” to any one of the questions indicates that the person in

question has a disability. The disability questions appear in the CPS in the following format:

This month we want to learn about people who have physical, mental, or emotional conditions

that cause serious difficulty with their daily activities. Please answer for household members

who are 16 years old or over.

Is anyone deaf or does anyone have serious difficulty hearing?

Is anyone blind or does anyone have serious difficulty seeing even when wearing

glasses?

Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does anyone have serious

difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions?

Does anyone have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs?

Does anyone have difficulty dressing or bathing?

Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does anyone have difficulty

doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor’s office or shopping?

Disability Status (2008 ACS): The U.S. Census Bureau used the same six questions to

identify persons with disabilities. A response of “yes” to any one of the questions indicates

that the person in question has a disability. However, the cognitive, ambulatory, self-care, and

independent living related questions are not used to identify disability in individuals less that

5 years old , and the independent living related question is not used to identify disability in

individuals less than 18 years old.

Disability Status (2007 ACS): The U.S. Census Bureau used six disability questions to

determine an individual’s disability status. People aged 5 to 64 are classified as having a

disability if they reported at least one of the following conditions: sensory, mental, physical,

employment, self-care, or go-outside-home disability. People 65 or more years old are

classified as having a disability if they reported any one of the same condition except an

employment disability.

Disabled-Worker (SSA): A worker not yet at full retirement age receiving insurance payments

due to a disability.

Earnings (ACS): Regularly received income from salaries/wages, self employment or both,

for people 16 or more years old before deductions for personal income taxes, Social Security,

bond purchases, union dues, Medicare deductions, etc.
Annual Disability Statistics Compendium: 2009 149

Educational Attainment (ACS): All individuals 18 or more years old are classified based on

their highest degree or level of education attained. The categories include:

1.	 Completed the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma.

2.	 High school graduate meaning received a diploma or General Educational

Development (G.E.D.), and did not attend college.

3.	 Some college credit, but less than one year.

4.	 One or more years of college, but no degree.

5.	 Associate’s degree which includes people who generally completed 2 years of

college level work in an occupational program that prepared them for a specific

occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The

course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree.

6.	 Bachelor’s degree or more which includes individuals who received a bachelor’s

degree and have taken additional courses but not received a Master’s or PhD.

7.	 Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific

degrees, such as MSW and MBA.

8.	 Professional degrees which includes MD, DDS, DVM, LLB, and JD.

9.	 Doctorate degrees which include PhD.

Schooling completed in foreign or ungraded school systems is reported as the equivalent level

of schooling in the regular American system. Certificates or diplomas for training in specific

trades or from vocational, technical or business schools are not included. Honorary degrees

awarded for a respondent’s accomplishments are not included.

Employed Persons (CPS): Individuals 16 or more years old who are civilians and are not

currently institutionalized and, during the reference week, (a) performed at least one hour

of work as a paid employee; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm,

or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid worker in a business owned by a relative; and (b) all

those who had jobs or businesses but are on leave because of vacation, illness, bad weather,

childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or

Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability 

Statistics and Demographics.

The Center facilitates evidence-based decision making in many different service and policy

arenas to benefit persons with disabilities, leading to improved social outcomes. Large

quantities of survey data and administrative records related to people with disabilities are

collected each year. Yet these data lack continuity and are underutilized, leading to missed

opportunities to improve the programs and policies that advance the lives of people with

disabilities. Policymakers, program administrators, service providers, researchers, advocates

for people with disabilities, and people with disabilities and their families need accessible,

valid data/statistics to support their decisions related to policy improvements, program

administration, service delivery, protection of civil rights, and major life activities.

The Center’s goal is to support decision making through a variety of integrated research

and outreach activities by (a) improving knowledge about and access to existing data,

(b) generating the knowledge needed to improve future disability data collection, and (c)

strengthening connections between the data from and regarding respondents, researchers,

and decision makers. In this way, the Center hopes to support the improvement of service

systems that advance the quality of life of people with disabilities.
