发帖数: 1 | 1 Why Native American children have higher rates of disability
The rates of disability among U.S. children are increasing, with the highest
rate of disability among Native American children, according to a newly
released brief by the U.S. Census Bureau.
More than 3 million children in the U.S. had a disability in 2019, slightly
up from data collected more than a decade ago.
But a disproportionate number of Native American children (5.9%) had a
disability, followed by children of more than one race (5.2%) and Black
children (5.1%). Household income also appeared to play a role, with 6.5% of
children living below the poverty line having a disability, as compared to
3.8% of children living in families with incomes above the poverty threshold.
