Algiers Point Neighborhood: Disabilities

Data Tables: People & Household CharacteristicsHousing & Housing Costs, Income & Poverty, Transportation, Employment, Educational Attainment, Immigration & Language, Disabilities, Neighborhood Characteristics

The numbers on this page come from the U.S. Census. We've interspersed commentary throughout the page to explain terms that can sometimes be misleading and to give you some ideas on how to use this data.

Who determines what counts as a disability? Each person who filled out a Census form determined their own disability status; disabilities were not determined by a healthcare professional. Visit the definitions, or click on the term in the data table to learn more about what each type of disability includes.
