What the count covers

1,161 NPPES records list optometrist (152W00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Wisconsin: 20 per 100,000 residents against 19 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Madison has 76 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.
