Appendix D: Number of Individuals <strong>with</strong> <strong>Disabilities</strong> in <strong>Texas</strong> by County<br />
in Each LWDA<br />
This appendix illustrates the numbers of individuals <strong>with</strong> disabilities by each county in the local<br />
workforce development areas. The total population of the county is presented <strong>with</strong> the number of<br />
individuals <strong>with</strong> any disability. The numbers of individuals <strong>with</strong> self‐care, hearing, vision, independent<br />
living, ambulatory, and cognitive difficulties are also provided. Since the reported disability categories<br />
are not mutually exclusive and the same individual may report multiple disabilities, adding the different<br />
types of disabilities does not equal the number of individuals <strong>with</strong> any disability. The tables are based<br />
on disability estimates developed by the <strong>Texas</strong> Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services<br />
(DARS) using population projections from the state demographer and rates of disabilities from the 2009<br />
to 2011 ACS three‐year microdata. For counties not included in the three‐year ACS data, allocation<br />
factors produced by the Missouri Census Data Center were used to align the respondents in the ACS<br />
geographic segments (called public use microdata areas) <strong>with</strong> the missing <strong>Texas</strong> counties.<br />
