Numbers of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 estimates that approximately 19% of all Americans have some sort of disability. As of April 1, 2000 the population of the USA was 281,421,906. That means 53,470,162 Americans have a disability.

Approximately 1.7% of the total population has a developmental disability or 4,784,172 Americans.

Wyoming's 2000 population was estimated to be 493,782, so we would expect about:

93,818 Wyoming citizens with disabilities
8,394 Wyoming citizens with developmental disabilities
