Highest doctors by state

Primary care physicians.

Primary care physicians per 100,000 residents. This is supply, not quality — a rural county with few doctors may still have good care, but longer waits and further travel are likely. Read it with the uninsured rate.

Not ranked, because this measure is not published for them: Connecticut. County Health Rankings suppresses counties with too few providers to report without identifying them. Withheld for counties under 1,000 residents: a handful of events on a denominator that small produces a rate that is arithmetically correct and practically meaningless.
