A Look at the Counties: Residents with Disabilities
There are a few differences at the county level. About one in ten residents under the age of sixty-five has a disability. Sullivan County has the highest proportion of adults between the ages of eighteen and sixty-four with a disability at 15%, and Dutchess County has the smallest proportion at 8%. About one in ten residents under the age of sixty-five in the other five counties reports having a disability.
There is little difference in the proportion of senior citizens with a disability throughout the seven counties of the Mid-Hudson Valley.
