How density varies inside Illinois

Each bar is the number of places at that level of provider density. A long right tail means a few places carry far more providers per resident than the rest of the state.

median 8.7 0 40.1 providers per 10,000 residents · 672 places in Illinois
Distribution across 672 places in Illinois.

There are 19,651 licensed therapists registered in Illinois. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (12,094) and occupational therapist (5,878).

Illinois ranks 6th of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 12,094 providers or 62% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Illinois licenses its providers.

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.

Providers are registered in 762 distinct places across Illinois. The map shows the ZIP codes with the highest counts.

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.

How Illinois got here

new registrations per year

Each registration carries the year it was issued, so the registry doubles as a record of when this workforce grew in Illinois. A rising line means the constraint is easing; a flat one means today's shortage is likely to be next year's too.

06061.2k200820172026
New registrations per year. licensed therapists in Illinois. Annual registrations in 2025 were 24% lower than in 2008. The final bar is faded because 2026 is still in progress. Starts at 2008 on purpose. The NPI system launched in 2006– 2007 and the whole profession registered at once, so those two years are an artefact of the rollout rather than a measure of anything. Including them would make the following year look like a collapse.

Who they are

self-reported to CMS

76.9% of registered licensed therapists in Illinois are women. Nationally the figure varies a great deal by licence type — occupational therapy at one end, psychiatry at the other. See the national breakdown.

You can filter any city list on this site by gender. We show it because it is one of the most common things people search for and, for some kinds of work, a real need — but it is only ever a filter here, never a ranking.

50 places have no per-resident figure.

The provider counts are unaffected; the test is described in the methodology.
