The share of U.S. veterans with service-connected disabilities increased from 15% in 2008 to about 30% in 2022, according to a new report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The report, Trends in Veteran Disability Status and Service-Connected Disability: 2008–2022, investigates disability among veterans of the U.S. armed forces and how they compared to the broader nonveteran population. It focuses on disability rates among Post-9/11 veterans, those who have served since September 2001. Post-9/11 veterans are the nation’s youngest cohort of veterans and have been at the forefront of recent veteran public health research.
The report is based on 2008-2019 and 2021-2022 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates.
