2) Analysis of Consumers Served. OCRA handled 5,120 cases from July 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. Exhibit B contains the complete compilation of data for the fiscal year. The data has been compiled by: 1. Age 2. County 3. Disability 4. Ethnicity 5. Race 6. Gender 7. Living Arrangement 8. Type of Problem (Problem Codes) 9. Service Level Please note that the reports included here are in non-table format so that they are accessible to individuals who use screen-readers. Although the data is still contained in grids, each row of the table is self-explanatory as read from left to right and does not require the navigational reference of a table header row for context. 38.5 percent of individuals served by OCRA were in the 4-to-17 years-old age group. This is the largest percentage of consumers served by age during this time period. The next largest was the 23-40 age group with 24.2 percent. These data are consistent with previous semi-annual and annual reports. For those cases where gender is recorded, as in the past OCRA served more males than females, with 64 percent of the consumers served being male and 36 percent being female in this reporting period. These numbers continue to coincide with the percentage served by regional centers, according to the DDS Fact Book, 12th Edition. The Fact Book attributes the growing gender imbalance, in large part, to the growing Autism population, which is currently over 80 percent male. The percentage of consumers residing in the parental or other family home remains by far the largest number of service requests for consumers served by OCRA, with 3,629 service requests showing consumers living in the family home or almost 71 percent of the cases handled.
