- All values come directly from HRSA's Workforce_Projections_FullData.xlsx (FY2025 release).
- Values are rounded to the nearest 10 per HRSA disclosure convention.
- The chart shows every scenario HRSA publishes for this (profession, geography, rurality) tuple. Missing lines = scenario not applicable to this profession (e.g., Income Effect only applies to oral health; Unmet Need only to behavioral health).
