Note: Except for data by age, figures are for life expectancy free of disability at birth.
The term disability describes people at risk of a limitation in their ability to fully participate in society. People are identified as having a disability through a set of 6 standardized questions developed for the American Community Survey (ACS). These questions ask if a person has difficulty in any of these 6 domains of functioning:
- Hearing
- Seeing
- Concentrating
- Remembering or making decisions
- Walking or climbing stairs
- Dressing or bathing
- Doing errands alone
*: The confidence level used for OHM data is 95 percent.
