Adults with Disability Living in Poverty

Select a County

Measurement Period: 2018-2022

This indicator shows the percentage of adults, aged 20 to 64, with any disability who are living below the poverty level.

Numerator = Total estimate of persons aged 20-64 with disability who had income in the past 12 months that was below the poverty level

Denominator = Total population estimate of persons aged 20-64 with disability with poverty status determined

Why is this important?

Persons with a disability are more likely to live in poverty as compared to the rest of the population. The poverty rate is especially high among persons with long-term disabilities. Without adequate income, individuals with disabilities may not be able to afford necessary expenses, such as rent or mortgage, utility bills, medical and dental care, and food. People with disabilities living below the poverty level are more likely to experience material hardship in comparison to others living in poverty.
