Provide cooking and other programs that last an entire season <br />In addition, attendees noted that not every municipal or district neighbor of CRPD offers a Therapeutic <br />Recreation Program. District staff advise and mentor those in other communities often. That was <br />clear to us in our work, and it was evident in the community feedback meetings. <br />REVIEW OF SELECTED LOCAL DEMOGRAPHIC DATA REGARDING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES�� <br />In this section of the report, we review some of the demographic and census data regarding people <br />with disabilities within the District. We have principally used data regarding the City of Thousand Oaks. <br />This is an imperfect data set because the District includes other areas or communities. <br />However, this suffices for the identification of approximate percentages of people with disabilities, <br />changes in the incidence of disability between 2000 and 2010 or later, and projections of disability in <br />the coming years. We do remind the reader that census counts are not perfect, and typically include a <br />margin of error. We are not applying that factor in our analysis below. <br />The 2000 Census <br />In 2000, the Census shows the Thousand Oaks population at 108,785. An approximate distribution by <br />age and disability status is below. Figures for children aged less than 5 years old were not available. <br />The census process in 2000 was relatively simple, compared to later years. <br />THE W -T GRO <br />DBA RECREATION ACCESSIBILITY CONSiILT .0 <br />ONE SOURCE.
