Methodology
Counts are distinct HPSA IDs with status Designated in the HRSA primary-care, dental, and mental-health detail files, last modified 2026-09-30. Component rows that repeat an ID are counted once. Withdrawn and proposed rows are excluded. Population is not summed from the HPSA file, because shortage areas overlap. The per-resident count uses Census civilian population on July 1, 2025, which is 2,956,931 in Kansas, divided into the ID count per 100,000 residents. Rural-status fields are not added in this table, because one ID can carry more than one rural status. Kansas has 400 distinct designated IDs across the three disciplines, which is 13.5 per 100,000 civilian residents. Areas are ordered by that per-resident count. Kansas is 13 of 51.
