Per capita

Headcount follows population, so the per-100,000 column is the fairer comparison between states. Top five: New York (7.5), Delaware (6.1), Maryland (5.3), New Hampshire (5.1), Connecticut (4.7). Bottom five: Tennessee (1), Mississippi (1), Louisiana (1.1), South Carolina (1.4), Oklahoma (1.5).

Published business emails

3,808 podiatrists nationally have a business email address published on a licence register, a practice website or a professional directory, as counted by Email Lists USA's podiatrists list on October 1, 2026. That is a count of people who publish a work address, not a measure of the profession's size, and it moves with each rebuild of that list.
