What the count covers

131 NPPES records list acupuncturist (171100000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in South Carolina: 2.4 per 100,000 residents against 10 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Charleston has 33 of them (25%).

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.
