Notes: Total number of public and private institutions and selected institutional characteristics include institutions that reported data to the AAMC across all states (we excluded some institutions, and hence states, for several reasons outlined in the text). According to the 2012 U.S. World and News Report medical school rankings, the research rankings factor in research activity and admissions criteria (MCAT, GPA, acceptance rate, and student selectivity) more strongly than the primary care rankings. The state-level calculations for total population, percent White, percent Latino, percent Black, and percent Native America are the authors own, using the CDC bridged-race data. The U.S. level data is reported from 2010 U.S. Census data. The source of the percentage of people 25 years and older with a bachelor's degree is the CPS and the unemployment rate for 25–34 year olds comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
