U.S. Census Bureau Regions are shown in bold and Divisions are italicized (http://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/maps-data/maps/reference/us_regdiv.pdf).

Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Adequacy = 100 * [projected 2013 supply (S) − projected 2013 demand (D)]/[projected 2013 demand (D)].

Projections reflect baseline assumptions regarding supply, demand, new entrants into each profession, retirement patterns, and provider‐utilization ratios.
