Disability status is determined for the civilian noninstitutionalized population who responded to questions regarding six types of difficulty and may vary by age. For children under 5 years old, hearing and vision difficulty are used to determine disability status. For children between the ages of 5 and 14, disability status is determined from hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, and self-care difficulties. For people aged 15 years and older, they are considered to have a disability if they have difficulty with any one of the six difficulty types.

*Note: numbers are NOT mutually exclusive. Persons can have more than one type of disability. This is why percentages will NOT add to 100%.
