People age 5 years old and over are considered to have a disability if they report one or more of the following criteria from one or more of the following categories as defined by the 2000 U.S. Census:
(a) sensory disability: blindness, deafness, or severe vision or hearing impairment;
(b) physical disability: substantial limitation in the ability to perform basic physical activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying;
(c) mental disability: difficulty learning, remembering, or concentrating;
(d) self-care disability: difficulty dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home.
In addition to the above, people 16 years old and over are considered to have a disability if they report:
(e) go-outside-home disability: difficulty going outside the home alone to shop or visit a doctor's office.
People age 16-64 years are considered to have a disability if they report any of the above and/or:
(f) employment disability: difficulty working at a job or business.

To calculate the percent out of the total number of reported disabilities that are of a particular disability type that were reported by people in a certain age group, divide the number of reported disabilities of a particular disability type for a certain age group by the total number of reported disabilities of a particular disability type for all people age 5 and over, and multiply the result by 100. Example: Out of the total number of reported sensory disabilities, calculate the percent that were reported by people age 5-15. This calculation would be: 442,894/9,305,275=.0476 and .0476x100=4.76%
