“Annual number of people who experience a spinal cord injury: About 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury occur each year. This does not count people who die from a spinal cord injury before reaching the hospital.

Number of Americans living with a spinal cord injury: There are approximately 259,000 people in the U.S. living with a spinal cord injury, but because it is estimation, this number could be higher or lower. As few as 229,000 people or as many as 306,000 Americans may be living with an SCI.

The average age at the time of injury: 40.2 years. The average age of injury has increased steadily since the 1970s, in part because the median age in the U.S. has risen over this period.

Injury percentage by gender: 80.9 % males. Most spinal cord injuries occur in males; experts believe this is partially due to males being more likely to engage in risk-taking behavior.”
