Abstract: Disability statistics help teach everyone about the lives of people with disabilities. These statistics help check how well government programs work and suggest changes to people who make the rules. The Annual Disability Statistics Compendium collates important information about people with disabilities in the United States--including all states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and in some sections outlying territories. It includes data from multiple government agencies and programs. The Compendium gathers these statistics together, making it easy for everyone to find and use. The Compendium focuses on people with disabilities who are between the ages of 18 and 64. It contains the following information: (1) the total number of people with disabilities in the United States by disability type; (2) the top industry and occupations of employed people with disabilities; and (3) how many people with disabilities participate in social insurance programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance. New to the Compendium this year is the second Expansion and Compilation section. Expansion and Compilation B: Blind and Low Vision Ages 55+ builds upon Expansion and Compilation A by presenting statistics only found in this section on people with blindness and vision disabilities, age 55 and older in the United States.
