How to read these nurse practitioner market statistics
These figures describe the composition of a survey, not a census of every nurse practitioner working in the United States. Each count is the number of surveyed nurse practitioners attributed to a state in the 2024 AANP Nurse Practitioner Compensation Report. Each percentage is that state’s share of the report’s 10,265 respondents.
The measurement period is the 2024 report. The geography is the state named in each result, plus the District of Columbia. The percentages therefore show survey representation. They should not be read as state employment totals, population shares, compensation averages, growth rates, demand forecasts, or market-size estimates. The source is identified throughout as the 2024 AANP Nurse Practitioner Compensation Report; the supplied research record does not include a direct URL or independent verification of the legacy figures.
States with the largest respondent counts
Florida had the largest representation in the survey, with 767 surveyed nurse practitioners, or 7.5% of all respondents. Texas followed with 687 respondents, or 6.7%. These were the only two states in the supplied results above 6% of the survey total.
California had 484 surveyed nurse practitioners, accounting for 4.8% of respondents. New York had 483, or 4.7%, while Ohio had 487, also representing 4.7%. The near-equal New York and Ohio shares are a useful reminder that a difference of one respondent does not always change a displayed percentage after rounding.
Pennsylvania contributed 384 surveyed nurse practitioners, or 3.7% of respondents. Michigan had 364, or 3.6%, and North Carolina had 343, or 3.3%. Illinois and Indiana each had 3.0% of respondents, with 306 surveyed nurse practitioners in Illinois and 301 in Indiana.
The next group included Georgia, with 303 respondents and a 3.0% share; Tennessee, with 280 and 2.7%; Washington, with 273 and 2.7%; Arizona, with 269 and 2.6%; New Jersey, with 269 and 2.6%; Massachusetts, with 259 and 2.5%; and Virginia, with 257 and 2.5%.

State comparison table
The following comparison groups the reported results by displayed share. It is a compact way to see how the survey’s geographic representation was distributed without treating the groups as labor-market tiers.
| Displayed share | States and surveyed NP counts |
|---|---|
| 4.7%–7.5% | Florida 767; Texas 687; Ohio 487; California 484; New York 483 |
| 3.0%–3.7% | Pennsylvania 384; Michigan 364; North Carolina 343; Illinois 306; Georgia 303; Indiana 301 |
| 2.1%–2.7% | Tennessee 280; Washington 273; Arizona 269; New Jersey 269; Massachusetts 259; Virginia 257; Missouri 227; Maryland 221; Minnesota 218 |
| 1.7%–1.9% | Kentucky 196; Alabama 183; Colorado 170; Louisiana 169; South Carolina 169 |
| 1.0%–1.4% | Mississippi 142; Oregon 144; Oklahoma 132; Connecticut 136; Iowa 130; Kansas 112; New Mexico 105; Arkansas 100 |
| 0.2%–0.9% | Utah 93; Idaho 84; Maine 76; Nevada 72; Nebraska 73; West Virginia 67; New Hampshire 59; Rhode Island 54; South Dakota 52; Montana 51; North Dakota 51; District of Columbia 48; Alaska 44; Delaware 42; Hawaii 40; Wyoming 24; Vermont 20 |

Mid-range state representation
Several states occupied the middle of the survey distribution. Missouri had 227 surveyed nurse practitioners, accounting for 2.2% of respondents. Maryland had 221, also accounting for 2.2%. Minnesota had 218, or 2.1%.
Kentucky had 196 surveyed nurse practitioners, representing 1.9% of respondents. Alabama had 183, or 1.8%. Colorado had 170, or 1.7%, and Louisiana and South Carolina each had 169, also representing 1.7%.
The 1.0% to 1.4% range included Connecticut with 136 surveyed nurse practitioners, or 1.3%; Oklahoma with 132, or 1.3%; Iowa with 130, or 1.3%; Mississippi with 142, or 1.4%; Oregon with 144, or 1.4%; Kansas with 112, or 1.1%; New Mexico with 105, or 1.0%; and Arkansas with 100, or 1.0%.
These comparisons are descriptive only. A respondent count can indicate how many survey participants were included from a state, but it does not establish the number of nurse practitioners in that state’s workforce or the size of its healthcare market. The 2024 AANP Nurse Practitioner Compensation Report supplies the survey counts and respondent shares; it does not, in the supplied figures, provide a separate workforce denominator for these states.
States with smaller respondent counts
The lower-count results covered a wide range of geographies. Utah had 93 surveyed nurse practitioners, accounting for 0.9% of respondents. Idaho had 84, or 0.8%. Maine had 76, or 0.7%, while Nebraska had 73 and Nevada had 72, each representing 0.7%. West Virginia had 67, also representing 0.7%.
New Hampshire had 59 surveyed nurse practitioners, or 0.6%. Rhode Island had 54, or 0.5%. Montana and North Dakota each had 51, also representing 0.5%, while South Dakota had 52 and the District of Columbia had 48, each representing 0.5% for South Dakota and the District of Columbia respectively? The supplied figures report South Dakota at 0.5% and the District of Columbia at 0.5%.
Alaska had 44 surveyed nurse practitioners, or 0.4%. Delaware had 42, also at 0.4%, and Hawaii had 40, also at 0.4%. Wyoming had 24, representing 0.2%, and Vermont had 20, also representing 0.2%.
The smallest displayed shares in the supplied state-level results were therefore Vermont and Wyoming at 0.2%. The largest displayed shares were Florida at 7.5% and Texas at 6.7%. Both are survey-representation measurements for 2024, not forecasts or estimates of future nurse practitioner supply.

The survey total was 10,265 respondents, or 100.0% of cases. Because the supplied percentages are displayed to one decimal place, they should be treated as the report’s presented shares rather than recomputed values. The figures above remain tied to the 2024 survey and should not be extended into later years without a newer source.
