86th of 278 places in KS
population 2,866
There are 2 licensed therapists registered in Columbus. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (1) and occupational therapist (1).
With a population of 2,866, that works out to 7 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.
Columbus is the 86th largest concentration in Kansas by number of providers, accounting for 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.
With only 2 providers registered locally, most people here will be looking beyond the town. Licences are issued at state level, so a provider anywhere in Kansas can generally see you by video — which makes the statewide figure the more useful one: 4,230 licensed therapists are registered across Kansas. Asking specifically whether a practice takes remote appointments is usually the fastest way to widen the search.
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.
