Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Disability by Health Condition

Among adults ages 40 and older, non-Hispanic Asians reported the lowest rates of disability-related health conditions in 2021 while those in the non-Hispanic Black and other race categories had the highest rates.

In 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau?s?Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)?reintroduced questions on health conditions related to disability that can help us better understand the conditions that contribute to disability and how they vary by sex, race, ethnicity and education.

SIPP measures disability using a standard series of six questions as well as questions about work disability and child disability. Beginning in 2021, it included an additional six questions capturing other functional difficulties: sitting, lifting, grasping, learning disability, mental/emotional condition, and any condition affecting functioning (for 12 months or longer).

Respondents who answered?"yes?"to any of these questions could report up to three health conditions that contributed to their disability.
