What the count covers

21 NPPES records list veterinarian (174M00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Alaska: 2.9 per 100,000 residents against 0.5 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Anchorage has 8 of them (38%).

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.
