What does this Chartbook tell you about
each state?
There are two pages for each state or territory. The first page
has an outline of the state that shows the estimated (rounded to the
nearest thousand) number and percentage of adults in the state who
have a disability. The precise estimate and the confidence interval
are included in the data tables in Appendix B. It also shows the
number and percentage of men and women who have a disability.
Figures 1 and 2 show the percentage of people with a disability by
age and race/ethnicity.
The second page contains graphs about the health of adults with a
disability (in black bars on the charts) and adults without a
disability (in gray bars on the charts) so that the health of the
two groups can be compared. Figure 3 shows the percentages of adults
who report their health to be excellent or very good compared with
fair or poor. Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d show how people with and
without disabilities compare on percentages of obesity, smoking,
exercise, immunizations (for flu or pneumonia), health insurance,
and having a regular doctor.
