Note:***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05; n = 3107 counties. Each category of disability characteristic (ie. gender, race, ethnicity, age, and impairment) are run as categorical variables in separate models and represent the share of the total population of that characteristic. All models adjusted for population density, percent of land that is highly developed, percent of land that is barren, the percent of employment due to agriculture and forestry, and the total prevalence in the total population of the demographic group in question.
