City of Santa Ana Emergency Operations Plan <br />Part 1 Basic Plan <br />Figure 18 Year Structures Built <br />2.1.4.4 Persons with Disabilities <br />Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that there are 29,538 persons with a disability in Santa Ana, <br />which is 8.7% of the population. This figure is lower than the national percentage of 12.3025. As income levels <br />in Santa Ana are low and many of the elderly are living on retirement, Social Security income, or SSI, there is <br />very likely a high degree of need for housing assistance among low-income persons with a disability.26 There are <br />approximately 1,000 individuals being served in skilled nursing facilities who may need additional assistance in <br />case of an emergency. <br />PERCENT WITH DISABILITIES/SPECIAL <br />NEEDS <br />Hearing <br />1.80% <br />Vision <br />3.60% <br />Cognitive <br />2.50% <br />Ambulatory <br />3.40% <br />Self -Care <br />1.60% <br />Independent Living <br />2.50% <br />Source: ACS 2010-2014 5-Year Estimates <br />"ACS 2010-2014 5-Year Estimates <br />16 Santa Ana Consolidated Plan: http://www.santa-ana.org/cda/documents/ConsolidatedPlan20l5-2019mergedtoprint.pdf <br />18 <br />
