That is roughly 186.5 providers per square mile of land area.

This is good news rather than bad if you live nearby: a concentration like this is what a regional cluster of practices looks like, and people travel to it from across the area. It does mean the list below is worth reading alongside the surrounding towns rather than on its own, since where someone registered an address and where their clients come from are two different things here.

Of the 518 places in New Jersey with at least one registered provider, Carteret ranks 5th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is occupational therapist (402), physical therapist (331), pediatric occupational therapist (53), pediatric physical therapist (24), with 0 further types making up the remainder.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 50% — hold the same licence, occupational therapist. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

Registered addresses are spread across 5 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
