What the count covers

107 NPPES records list acupuncturist (171100000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Alaska: 14.6 per 100,000 residents against 10 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Anchorage has 49 of them (46%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
