The state with the largest number of individuals with disabilities was California, with 4,599,000 individuals with disabilities, while the state with the smallest number of individuals with disabilities was Wyoming, with 69,000 individuals with disabilities. West Virginia had the highest prevalence rate, 25.8 percent, while Hawaii had the lowest prevalence rate, 11.4 percent.

Tables 57: In 2006, the prevalence of disability increased with age in all states.
