State-Level Estimates
State estimates carry margins of error; small differences between states may not be statistically meaningful.

Published ties: Montana and New Mexico share 5.9% % of civilians living in the community. Estimates and their 95% margins of error appear above; these are not statistically established rankings.
Methodology & source
Source: Annual Disability Statistics Compendium 2026, Table 1.4 (opens in a new tab), published by the University of New Hampshire, Institute on Disability, Center for Research on Disability, based on U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample data for 2024. Estimates are subject to sampling variability and margins of error. The survey asks whether a person is deaf or has serious difficulty hearing. These estimates are not equivalent to the number of people who use American Sign Language or require sign language interpretation.
Percentage denominator: % of civilians living in the community, not the total resident population. Published percentages and margins have not been recalculated. The national estimate is the published total; rounded state counts do not sum exactly to it. Puerto Rico is reported separately by the source and excluded from the state map.
