The "Annual Disability Statistics Compendium" and its complement, the "Annual Disability Statistics Supplement" (ED605683) are summaries of statistics about people with disabilities and about the government programs which serve them. The compendium 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 following new sections were added to the compendium this year: (1) The Research and Training Center on Disability in Rural Communities sponsored a new section with national estimates of sociodemographic information about people with disabilities in the rural US; (2) Focusing on factors in the social and physical environments, sections have been added on the intersection of functional difficulties and activities of daily living and housing (e.g., housing quality, year built, type). Housing quality estimates were based on a Census Bureau index that includes adequacy of kitchen and bathroom facilities, overcrowding, and cost burden; and (3) Industry and occupation for people with disabilities were added, and the four most prevalent industries and occupations were stratified by state. A companion "Annual Report" (ED605685) is available, providing graphic representations of key findings.
