20th of 133 places in SD
population 1,803
7 licensed providers are registered in Custer — about 38.8 for every 10,000 residents.
With a population of 1,803, that works out to 38.8 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.
A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of South Dakota — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.
Of the 133 places in South Dakota with at least one registered provider, Custer ranks 20th by count.
By licence type the breakdown is counselor (2), mental health counselor (2), clinical social worker (2), marriage & family therapist (1), with 0 further types making up the remainder.
The largest single group, 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: 2,906 licensed providers are registered across South Dakota, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.
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.
