The mission of the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Statistics and Demographics (StatsRRTC) is to narrow and actively bridge the divide between the producers and end users of disability statistics, thereby supporting better data collection, more accurate information, better decision-making, more effective programs, and better lives for people with disabilities.
Mathematica is supporting the University of New Hampshire and other partners on the StatsRRTC with six studies over five years. The project is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research.

Spatial Distributions in Disaster Risk Vulnerability for People with Disabilities in the U.S.
We examine the relationship between disability and disaster risk in the U.S., by gender, race, age, and disability impairment type. We find that counties with higher percentages of people with disabilities have a lower risk of natural disasters, and regional and demographic differences exist.
