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.
