VisionServe Alliance and the Aging and the Vision Loss National Coalition ( AVLNC) Provide Groundbreaking Data On The Rate Of Blindness And Low Vision Among Working Age Adults (aged 18-64)
The Big Data Report Project
The Big Data Project reports are the only studies that, in one document, provide comprehensive descriptions of adults with vision loss. Two Phases of the project were implemented: Phase 2 – Working Age Adults (aged 18-64), and Phase 1 – Adults 65+.
Data is provided at the national, state, and county levels, and data sets included in the project are the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the American Community Survey (ACS).
National Reports are currently being updated, using 2024 BRFSS & ACS data, and you can commission your state reports, too. Learn more
Report data provides a powerful tool for agency and organizational leadership and their development and marketing teams to quantify state and local needs and strengthen funding outreach by employing powerful statistics and current needs-based data.
Policymakers and advocates can use Big Data Project briefings to develop programs designed to improve the lives of older people with vision loss.

“We’ve been talking about needing data for years. Those of us who have been serving in this field know anecdotally how large this population is, but we’ve never had this specific data to back up what we were saying. One of the biggest challenges in providing services to the low vision community is a lack of funding that ties to a lack of data.”
Lauren Branch, President & CEO NewView Oklahoma
“New York’s Big Data Report helps to frame issues and critical needs and was shared with the New York State Office of the Governor, the New York State Commission for the Blind, the New York State Chief Disability Officer, and the New York State Department of Health.”
