Throughout the three-year period, Glasgow has had one of the highest levels of reported working age disability among the selected UK cities. Edinburgh has consistently had a substantially lower level of reported disability than the other cities.
Notes
The Annual Population Survey's disability category includes people with a long-term condition which substantially limits their day-to-day activities (Equality Act Core disabled), and those who have a long-term disability which affects the kind or amount of work they might do (work-limiting disabled).
Changes in the wording of the disability questions in 2013 make comparison with data from earlier years difficult to interpret.
