Local statistics are critical to informing disability policy, but they are not always available Having state and local disability data can be helpful - Understand geographic distribution of disability and related relationships - Suggests where and how to allocate scarce resources State and local/county statistics can be difficult to produce or present - Sometimes data do not have detailed local/county level data - There are many (i.e., 3,143) counties! Center for Studying Disability Policy 3
Mathematica has been creating interactive maps with disability statistics to address this need! Center for Studying Disability Policy
Interactive map on disability prevalence and SSA disability benefit receipt Using statistics generated by UNH, we created state and county maps for: - Disability prevalence - SSDI benefits - SSI payments How it works: - Select a series/outcome - Select a state - Move cursor over a county Can also download the data URL: https://www.mathematica.org/dataviz/state-disability-maps Center for Studying Disability Policy 5
An interactive map features state and county data on minority youth with disabilities Developed to help CILs understand local youth populations Data focuses on: - Youth ages 16-24 - Racial and ethnic minority status - Poverty - Education - Employment Funded by NIDILRR under the MYCIL DRRP URL: https://mathematica.org/dataviz/nonworking-osy- disability-maps Center for Studying Disability Policy 7
We just released a new interactive map on disability and natural disaster risk! Based on Harrarti et al. forthcoming State and county maps for: - Disability prevalence - Correlation between natural disaster risk and disability prevalence Can access analysis results/estimates for state and counties How it works: - Select a series/outcome - Select a state - Move cursor over a county URL: https://www.mathematica.org/dataviz/county-disability-natural- disasters-map Center for Studying Disability Policy 9
Please use these resources if helpful! We monitor use of these interactive maps Greater use of the existing maps encourages us to make more! We are also interested in your ideas about other maps to create Center for Studying Disability Policy 11
