7 licensed providers are registered in Waveland — about 9.9 for every 10,000 residents.
With a population of 7,042, that works out to 9.9 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.
Waveland is the 110th largest concentration in Mississippi by number of providers, accounting for 0.1% of the state total.
The largest single group is mental health counselor, at 2 providers or 29% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Mississippi licenses its providers.
The largest single group, mental health counselor, accounts for 29% of licensed providers registered here, so no one licence defines what is available. Training route and areas of focus vary more within a licence type than between them.
7 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: 8,383 licensed providers are registered across Mississippi, 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.
