Who is included?
Civilian noninstitutionalized population age 18 and older.
Grouped by Sex reported in the ACS. Each group uses the same population filters.
What this selection shows
2024 · No demographic filters
United States · Female: Deaf 4,978,162, Hearing 129,966,200. United States · Male: Deaf 6,944,253, Hearing 120,533,073. A difference between estimates does not by itself show a statistically significant difference. Check the paired difference confidence interval and reliability labels when available; separate population margins of error do not test that difference.
Availability for this selection
4 stable · 0 unstable · 0 suppressed
4 result rows returned, including any requested calculations. These counts apply to the displayed selection only.
What do the availability labels mean?
- Absent coverage
- This combination is not included in the release. No estimate or reliability assessment is available.
- Ineligible selection
- The selected group falls outside the measure’s population universe or valid category combinations. A broader release cannot make that statistic eligible.
- Undefined or missing input
- A zero denominator makes a statistic undefined. Missing required information prevents calculation. These are distinct from withholding an otherwise defined estimate under reliability rules.
- Suppressed
- A result exists, but its estimate and uncertainty are withheld under the release’s reliability rules. This is not a zero.
- Unstable
- The estimate is shown with uncertainty, but its relative standard error exceeds the release’s threshold. Use caution.
- Stable
- The estimate meets the release’s sample size and relative standard error thresholds. It still has sampling uncertainty.
