Important: Compensation records are administrative counts; VetPop is a modeled population estimate. Their ratio is context only and should not be treated as an official disability prevalence rate. A change in recipients does not prove what caused the change.

VA may suppress small subgroup values. Subgroups may not add exactly to county totals, and Sunshine does not reconstruct suppressed values. Checked August 23, 2026.
