Report year 2023 at a glance

No Census denominator

The American Community Survey 5-year estimates do not cover Guam, so reach and spending per person with a disability cannot be computed here. The territory's own population data would be needed.

Guam is in the island and non-contiguous peer group (AK, AS, GU, HI, MP, PR, VI). Comparisons within that group are more meaningful than against the national average.

Centers

No center filed a report for Guam in report year 2023.

Using this for your State Plan

Most State Plans for Independent Living define served and unserved areas by whether a center's service area covers a county. That cannot see under-reach inside a covered area. A penetration-rate measure can: consumers served in a county, divided by the county's civilian noninstitutionalized population with a disability.

  1. Get consumers served by county from each center, for the same twelve months, on the same definition of "consumer".
  2. Divide by the county disability population in the table above.
  3. Set the target as a position among peers, for example reaching the national median of 44.9 per 10,000, rather than a fixed share that no state has met.
