What the count covers

11,133 NPPES records list community health worker (172V00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in California: 29 per 100,000 residents against 14 nationally (50 states and D.C.). San Francisco has 1,674 of them (15%).

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.
