2020 Annual Report on People with Disabilities in America
Houtenville, A.; Rafal, M.
Institute on Disability, University of New Hampshire
The "2020 Annual Report on People with Disabilities in America" is a companion volume to the "2020 Annual Disability Statistics Compendium" (ED613086) and "Supplement" (ED613090). Indicators were in the following areas of interest: employment, educational attainment, health and health care, financial status and security, leisure recreation, personal relationships, and crime/safety. It appears that there was not a great deal of change between 2018 to 2019 (the most recent year available) in the indicators track of the Annual Report. The exceptions are: (1) An increase in the size of the U.S. population with disabilities, percentage-wise; (2) A narrowing of the "employment gap;" (3) A narrowing of the "recently constructed housing gap;" and (4) An increase in the "disablement index" (i.e., reporting of independent living difficulty among persons reporting hearing, vision, ambulatory, and cognitive difficulties). [For the 2019 Annual Report, see ED605685.]
