What the count covers

715 NPPES records list optometrist (152W00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Kansas: 24 per 100,000 residents against 19 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Wichita has 137 of them (19%).

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.
