Second Annual Disability Status Report
3
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.
4
StatsRRTC Mission
To bridge the gap between the sources of disability data 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
6
Annual Disability Status Reports
• Provide up-to-date demographic and economic statistics, by state
• For policy makers, disability advocates, reporters, and the public
• Comparisons between working-age people with and without disabilities
• Changes from previous year• A “looked-for-event” that every year would being
disability issues to the forefront

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.
