🌐 Americans with Disabilities Act Anniversary

Join us as we commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with data from the U.S. Census Bureau about people with disabilities.

On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. This law prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodations, commercial facilities, telecommunications, and state and local government services.

Did you know? The Census Bureau collects data on disability primarily through the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). The ACS produces estimates for states, counties, and metropolitan areas. The SIPP estimates of disability prevalence are broader and encompass a greater number of activities on which disability status is assessed. Learn more about these and other sources of data on people with disabilities.
