Children with a Disability

County: Harris
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator shows the percentage of children less than 18 years old that are limited in any activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems.
Numerator = Total estimate of children under 18 with disability.
Denominator = Total population estimate of children.

Why is this important?

Children with a disability have difficulties performing activities due to a physical, mental, or emotional condition. The extent to which a child is limited by a disability is heavily dependent on the social and physical environment in which he or she lives. According to the U.S. Department of Education, more than six million children with disabilities receive special education and related services annually through their school system. As children with disabilities approach adulthood, they may have difficulties living independently or fulfilling work responsibilities without sufficient accommodations.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
