Activity: Using the Disability Counts website
- Visit the Disability Counts website
- Select the Disability Data Lookup Tool
- Choose your state
- Choose the counties you would like to focus on (these may be a combination of rural and urban counties to make comparisons)
- Choose variables you are interested in such as the Disability Poverty Rate or the Veteran Disability Rate
- Submit your choices to view the statistics
For example, after selecting two neighboring counties in Montana (Ravalli, a rural county, and Missoula, an urban county), we can compare the disability rates for veterans between those counties.
