Methodology & Sources
Provider counts are queried live from the ProviderSignal PostgreSQL database. The provider dataset is sourced from the CMS NPI/NPPES bulk download file, filtered to dental taxonomy codes. License enrichment data comes from the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE) daily CSV exports.
DSO-affiliated practice counts are derived from organization name pattern matching against known DSO brands, multi-location NPI registrations, and entity type analysis. HPSA designations are from the HRSA data warehouse. Census demographics are from the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (2022).
All data refreshes are managed by an automated pipeline orchestrator. Source freshness is tracked in the data_source_status table. See the Data Sources page for detailed methodology on each source.
