METROSTATS Metropolitan Council | metrocouncil.org/metrostats | 2 <br />The share of people with disabilities in the region’s communities ranges from 21% in Oak Park Heights and Lily- <br />dale to 2% in Elko New Market (Figure 2). Many communities with higher concentrations of people with disabilities <br />are in the core of the region where public transportation and services may be more accessible. These communi- <br />ties include Saint Paul (12%), Minneapolis (11%), and several first-ring suburbs. Not surprisingly, communities with <br />higher shares of residents who are 65 or older also have high shares of people with disabilities. Oak Park Heights <br />(21%), Lilydale (21%), Anoka (17%), Osseo (16%), and Little Canada (15%) are among these communities. <br />FIGURE 2.
