What the count covers

118 NPPES records list midwife (176B00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in New Mexico: 5.6 per 100,000 residents against 1.8 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Albuquerque has 46 of them (39%).

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.
