253rd of 551 places in FL
population 10,612
There are 9 licensed therapists registered in Alachua. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (6) and occupational therapist (3).
With a population of 10,612, that works out to 8.5 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.
Density is the closest public proxy for how hard it will be to get an appointment, but it is only a proxy. It counts everyone with a registered address here, including people who have retired, moved or stopped taking new clients — nothing forces those records to be updated. Read it as a cautionary upper bound rather than a promise.
Alachua is the 253rd largest concentration in Florida by number of providers, accounting for under 0.1% of the state total.
No single licence type dominates here — physical therapist and occupational therapist are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.
9 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 25,026 licensed therapists are registered across Florida, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.
These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
