Notes: Since 1985, a federal survey on people with severe disabilities has been conducted every two years.
Starting in 2021, individual figures are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 for data protection reasons. The results are rounded to the next value divisible by 5. The maximum deviation from the original value is therefore 2. Consequently, the sum of the individual row values does not equal the grand total.
