Known Limits

  • These are practical support proxies, not direct audits of ADA compliance, sidewalk condition, housing accessibility, service waitlists, paratransit quality, or lived experience.
  • ACS disability-status estimates are multi-year estimates and can be noisy for small places; county fallback is used when place-level disability economic values are suppressed.
  • Healthcare, transportation, affordability, and safety components inherit the limitations of their underlying published scores.
  • Disability prevalence is shown as context, but it is not treated as good or bad in the score formula.
