How many neurologists are there in Florida?

1,725 active neurologists are listed in Florida per the 2026-05-06 CMS NPPES snapshot. That works out to 7.38 per 100,000 residents using U.S. Census 2024 population estimates.

Where does Florida rank nationally for neurologist supply?

Florida ranks 18 of 51 U.S. states + DC by per-capita neurologist density. It sits above the parent study's underserved threshold.

Limitations

This figure measures density (per-capita supply), not access. Drive time, appointment availability, insurance acceptance, and wait times are not modeled here.
The CMS NPPES registry counts NPI-1 individual providers with the relevant taxonomy code. It does not capture PA-led or NP-led practices that operate under a different taxonomy.
NPPES does not publish a county-level field of practice in its public API. County- and ZIP-scoped queries surface state-level density, with the geographic context preserved on this page.
Population is the U.S. Census Bureau 2024 vintage estimate. Population shifts post-2024 are not yet reflected.
The "underserved" threshold is the parent study's transparent baseline cutoff; it is not a regulatory or clinical definition. See the parent study for the rationale.
