While the majority of people with disability (2.6 million) lived in Major cities in 2009, almost 1 million lived in Inner regional areas and 436,000 lived in Outer regional, Remote and Very remote areas.
After taking different population age structures into account, people aged under 65 living outside Major cities were more likely to have a disability than people living in Major cities. However, there were no significant differences in disability rates among older people.
