It is estimated that up to 27% of adults in the U.S. are living with one or more disabilities. In Idaho, the estimate is slightly higher at 29%, with cognitive and mobility disabilities being the most common. Research indicates that people living with disabilities are more likely than those living without disabilities to experience a variety of health and social difficulties such as depression, poverty, and lack of access to services. In addition, people living with disabilities are at a greater risk of being victimized by others. The National Crime Victimization Survey suggests that the risk of violent victimization was more than four times higher for Americans aged 12 or older living with disabilities (49.2/1,000) than those living without disabilities (12.4/1,000) in 2019 (see Figure 1). Further, people living with disabilities are more likely to experience severe and frequent victimization, and individuals with cognitive disabilities have the highest risk. In addition to violence, people with disabilities can also be vulnerable to other types of victimization such as property crime, financial abuse, and neglect.
