Second Annual Disability Status Report
3
Imagine a day when we have data that ...
• Provide demographic and outcomes statistics for local jurisdictions.
• Break down statistics by type of disability.• Defines disability using language with which
advocacy organizations, policy-makers, and the general public identify.
• Identifies barriers to the participation of people with disabilities.

StatsRRTC Mission

2006 saw the Clash of Two Worlds
• SIPP Report• 2005 ACS and 2000 Census
– Star-Ledger Article on radically changing local estimates
• 2005 ACS and previous years of the ACS– Influenced the Status Reports– Cannot compare 2005 with 2004 and prior years– Reason for Caution: 2004-2005 rise in disability-specific
prevalence rates were larger than previous one-years changes.
