What the count covers

559 NPPES records list lactation consultant (non-rn) (174N00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in California: 1.4 per 100,000 residents against 1 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Los Angeles has 41 of them (7%).

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.
