CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, in partnership with the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) and the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), has released a groundbreaking report titled "Neighborhood Conditions for Adults with Disabilities in Chicago." This comprehensive study is the first of its kind to examine the experiences and needs of individuals with disabilities across all 77 neighborhoods in Chicago.
The report, which was presented at a virtual webinar on Tuesday, February 10th, from 1 to 2 p.m., provides valuable insights and key takeaways on the current state of accessibility for residents with disabilities in Chicago. Mayor Johnson expressed his commitment to providing dignity, stability, and opportunity for all residents by investing in accessibility across the city.
According to the report, one in four adults in Chicago lives with a disability. The data was collected through CDPH's Healthy Chicago Survey with support from MOPD. The study combines robust data analysis with personal accounts from individuals navigating the city and their daily lives with disabilities.

Commissioner Arfa emphasized the importance of including disability in data collection as it impacts how individuals move, communicate, and interact with the world. She expressed pride in partnering with CDPH on this report, which will inform data-driven decisions on improving the lives of people with disabilities across all neighborhoods in Chicago.
Dr. Ige highlighted some of the key barriers faced by individuals with disabilities in Chicago, including limited access to transportation and fresh produce, higher fear of crime, and a lower sense of community belonging.
