Advanced SearchPopulation Estimates of Disability and Long-Term Care
A large minority of Americans (42.7 million or 17.2%) have disabilities, 12.7 million of whom need long-term care. About 29.7% of all people with disabilities and 5% of the entire population need long-term care.
Disability Among Children
According to the 1990 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and data from institutions, 4,536,000 children under 18 were reported as having a disability, with 4,444,500 living in the community and 91,800 residing in institutions.
Conditions and Impairments Among the Working Age Population with Disabilities

Licensed Board and Care Homes: Preliminary Findings from the 1991 National Health Provider Inventory
This paper presents some preliminary findings on board and care at the national level. The data indicate that there were about 34,000 licensed board and care homes in 1991. Over three fifths were run on a for profit basis. Non profits and government sponsored board and care homes were more likely than for profits to serve the mentally ill and MR/DD populations.
The Elderly with Disabilities: At Risk for High Health Care Costs
According to the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey, elderly persons with severe disabilities (defined as needing assistance with one or more activities of daily living) had out-of-pocket health care expenses nearly four times greater than persons without disabilities. Approximately 9% of the elderly population was categorized as having a severe disability.
