Imagine a day when we have data that ...
• Provide demographic and outcomes statistics for
local jurisdictions.
• Break down statistics by type of disability.
• Defines disability using language with which
advocacy organizations, policy-makers, and the
general public identify.
• Identifies barriers to the participation of people with
disabilities.

and the users of disability statistics.

Current State-of-the-Data
• Current State = Changing
• American Community Survey (ACS)
– Full Implementation: Institutions, PR, Small areas (65K+)
• Current Population Survey (CPS)
– Possibly seven new disability items
• National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
– Holding steady
• Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)
– Likely not to continue
5
Annual Disability Status Reports
• Provide up-to-date demographic and economic
statistics, by state
• For policy makers, disability advocates, reporters,

• Comparisons between working-age people with
and without disabilities

2006 saw the Clash of Two Worlds
• SIPP Report
• 2005 ACS and 2000 Census
– Star-Ledger Article on radically changing local estimates
• 2005 ACS and previous years of the ACS
– Influenced the Status Reports
– Cannot compare 2005 with 2004 and prior years
– Reason for Caution: 2004-2005 rise in disability-specific
prevalence rates were larger than previous one-years
changes.
