Are children under 5 included in the ACS disability data?
Children under 5 are not included in the ACS disability data. The first four of the six disability questions in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 American Community Survey were asked about individuals five years old or over. These questions concern sensory disability, physical disability, mental disability, and self-care disability. The questions about going outside the home alone and working at a job or business were asked about individuals 15 years old or over.
