Introduction Overview. Statistics are a powerful tool - in research, policymaking,
program evaluation, and advocacy. They are used to frame 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.
population with disabilities and about the government programs that serve
people with disabilities - are often difficult to find. Numerous
government agencies generate and publish disability statistics, and as a
result, the data are scattered across various federal government
documents and websites.
Annual Disability Statistics Supplement, are summaries of statistics
about people with disabilities and about the government programs which
serve them. The Compendium, available both in hard copy and online (at
www.disabilitycompendium.org) presents key overall statistics on topics
including the prevalence of disability, employment among persons with
disabilities, rates of participation in disability income and social
insurance programs, and other statistics. The Annual Disability
Statistics Supplement, only available online (also at
www.disabilitycompendium.org), presents tables with over 150 additional
categorizations of data for each section highlighted in the Compendium.
Notes on the data. The Compendium is a compilation of data from multiple
sources, such as the Social Security Administration, Veterans Benefits
Administration, and frequently, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American
Community Survey, among others. Many of these get updated annually,
however some of them have not received an update in recent years. These
include selected data from the Social Security Administration (SSA) on
the State Assistance Programs for SSI Recipients (last updated in 2011),
SSA’s Social Security disability program (last updated in 2019), and the
data from the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services
Administration (last updated in 2016). We used the most recent data
wherever available.
It is also of note that in many cases disability data is broken out into
6 main types (cognitive, ambulatory, hearing, vision, self-care, and
independent living), and does not necessarily allow for more fine-grained
analysis. For instance, cognitive disability is a category, but this does
not tell one the specific type of cognitive disability, such as whether
1 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium: 2020 | Disability Statistics & Demographics
it is related to a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or an
Intellectual/Developmental Disorder (IDD).
Exploring other topics. The UNH Institute on Disability is dedicated to
thorough research and has explored topics such as understanding the
factors associated with the health disparities experienced by people with
intellectual disabilities through the Health Disparities Project
(https://www.iod.unh.edu/projects/health-disparities-project) and career
self-management through job crafting for people with physical and mild
cognitive disabilities
at https://www.iod.unh.edu/information-resources.
You can also find statistics and trends on employment, unemployment, and
labor force participation for Americans with Disabilities here at the
Employment Policy and Measurement Rehabilitation and Research Training
Center (EPM-RRTC) website - https://researchondisability.org/epm-rrtc/resources.
New this year. Though the 2020 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium
does not include any new sections, it has incorporated a few changes.
The source of all statistics previously reported from the American
Community Survey 1-year estimates has changed to the American
Community Survey public use microdata sample.
Most statistics based on the American Community Survey public use
microdata sample are reported for the age group 18-64 years.
The above-mentioned changes have made the Annual Disability Statistics
Compendium more consistent across all tables, however, there may be minor
differences between the estimates reported in the past years and the
estimates reported this year.
Additional Resources. A companion Annual Report is available, providing
graphical representations of key findings. The Annual Report highlights
trend data related to specific tables in the Compendium and Supplement.

Annual Report, can be viewed and downloaded at

Section 1: Population and Prevalence This section presents statistics on the United States resident
population, projected population, and people with disabilities. The
prevalence statistics describe disability frequency by disability type.
The principal source of these data is the U.S. Census Bureau,
specifically the American Community Survey. For these tables, statistics
for people with disabilities (disability status or disability type) are
based on having responded ‘yes’ to a series of questions within the
American Community Survey (see the glossary for more details).
Tables Table 1.1: In 2019, the resident population in the United States was
estimated to be 328,239,523 individuals, up from 327,167,439 individuals
in 2018. The state with the largest population in 2019 was California,
with 39,512,223 individuals. The state with the smallest population in
2019 was Wyoming, with 578,759 individuals.
Table 1.2: The projected 2030 resident population in the United States is
363,584,435 individuals, up from 349,439,199 individuals in 2025 and
335,804,546 individuals in 2020. The state with the largest projected
population in 2030 is California, with 46,444,861 individuals. The
geography with the smallest projected population in 2030 is the District
of Columbia, with 433,414 individuals.
Table 1.3: Based on data from the American Community Survey, in 2019
there were 323,205,854 individuals living in the community, 41,156,238 of
which were individuals with disabilities—12.7 percent. The state with the
largest number of individuals with disabilities was California, with
4,131,700 individuals, while the state with the smallest number of
individuals with disabilities was Wyoming, with 77,816 individuals.
Table 1.4: In 2019, there were 41,156,238 individuals living in the
community with disabilities, 11,525,119 of which were individuals with a
hearing disability—28.0 percent. For this disability type, Alaska had the
highest percentage, 38.7 percent, while the District of Columbia had the
lowest percentage, 16.1 percent.
vision disability—18.2 percent. For this disability type, Louisiana had
the highest percentage, 24.2 percent, while Maine had the lowest
percentage, 11.9 percent.
cognitive disability—38.4 percent. For this disability type, Delaware had
the highest percentage, 43.3 percent, while South Dakota had the lowest
community with disabilities, 20,869,933 of which were individuals with an
ambulatory disability—50.7 percent. For this disability type, Mississippi
had the highest percentage, 56.7 percent, while Utah had the lowest
self-care disability—19.4 percent. For this disability type, California
had the highest percentage, 23.5 percent, while Wyoming had the lowest
community with disabilities, 15,003,428 of which were individuals with an
independent living disability—36.5 percent. For this disability type,
Rhode Island had the highest percentage, 41.0 percent, while South Dakota
had the lowest percentage, 25.4 percent.

more details about prevalence by disability types. It presents the
prevalence of people with multiple disability types, specifically those
who have a functional limitation (vision, hearing, ambulatory, or
cognitive disabilities) as well as an activity of daily living disability
(self-care disabilities) and/or an instrumental activity of daily living
disability (independent living disabilities). Self-care disabilities are
defined as difficulties with activities that promote well-being and
health, such as bathing or dressing. Independent living disabilities are
defined as difficulties with doing activities alone that promote self- determination and self-respect, such as visiting a doctor's office or
shopping. Activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily
living can be proxies for whether the environment is enabling or
disabling. For example, a person with vision disabilities may identify as
also having self-care disabilities in an unsupportive environment but may
not report a self-care disabilities in an environment with adequate
accommodations. Self-care and independent living disabilities can occur
at the same time or exclusive of one another (e.g., an individual can
have difficulties bathing but is able to go shopping alone).
The source of these data is the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community
Survey. Statistics for people with disabilities (disability status or
disability type) are based on having responded ‘yes’ to a series of
questions within the American Community Survey (see the glossary for more
details). Please note that this section focuses on people ages 18-64.

Section 3: Employment This section presents statistics on employment in the United States. Data
are presented for people with disabilities, people without disabilities,
and the difference in percentage employed (employment gap) between these
two populations.

Section 4: Industry and Occupation This section presents statistics on the industries and occupations that
employ people in the United States. Statistics are presented for the
United States overall and by state for the top four most prevalent
industries and occupations among people with disabilities.
Industry describes the kind of business conducted by a person’s employing
organization. Occupation describes the kind of work a person does on the
job. Statistics for people with disabilities (disability status or
disability type) are based on having responded ‘yes’ to a series of
questions within the American Community Survey, conducted by the U.S.
Census Bureau (see the glossary for more details).
Data on occupation and industry are collected for the American Community
Survey respondent’s current primary job or the most recent job for people
who are not employed but have worked in the last 5 years. American
Community Survey respondents provide written responses describing their
kind of business or industry. An automated, standardized coding procedure
categorizes responses which are then reviewed by trained staff for
accuracy. Industries are categorized based on the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), published by the Office of Management and
Budget. Occupations are categorized based on the Standard Occupational
(SOC) Manual, also published by the Office of Management and Budget.
American Community Survey data on industry and occupation describe the
industrial composition and occupational experiences of the American labor
force and are used to formulate employment policy and programs, develop
career trainings, provide information on the occupational skills of the
labor force, and measure compliance with antidiscrimination policies.
Tables Table 4.1: In 2019 in the United States, the industry with the greatest
number of people with disabilities was Health Care and Social Assistance
