Lowest disability by state

Share of residents with a disability.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Share of the civilian noninstitutionalized population reporting at least one ACS disability measure. It is a survey estimate of functional difficulty, not a count of benefit recipients or a measure of accessibility.
