Researchers used data from various federal resources – including the Social Security Administration, Veterans Benefits Administration, and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey – to compile statistics about the lives of people with disabilities.
Section 10 presents data on people with disabilities in rural areas, and compares the prevalence of disability in rural, demographics, employment, income, and insurance coverage across rural, urban, and suburban areas. The research is funded by the Administration for Community Living, an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
