HRSA’s FY2026 fourth-quarter Designated Health Professional Shortage Areas report, as of September 30, 2026, reports 35.42% of need met in New York’s designated primary-care shortage areas and 46.75% in the national total. The difference is 11.33 percentage points. The national total includes New York. This is a same-date comparison, not a trend or a causal comparison.

The five neighboring states are New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. New York has the lowest reported share among these six states. Each bar uses a 0–100% scale.

HRSA reports 5,288,766 people in designated New York primary-care shortage areas and 1,130 additional primary-care physicians needed to remove those designations. These figures do not mean that everyone in those areas has no care, do not establish appointment waits and are not SozoRock results. The physician calculation excludes additional services from nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

CDC PLACES, 2025 release (December 2025), dataset i46a-9kgh. The map shows 2023 model-based crude prevalence estimates for adults aged 18 or older in all 62 New York counties. The county selector and table include 95% confidence intervals. Boundaries come from U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb 2025; shapes are simplified for display.

SozoRock’s population-weighted calculations multiply each county’s crude percentage by its adult population, sum across counties, and divide by the combined adult population. The results are 11.467% for diabetes and 32.562% for high blood pressure, displayed as 11.5% and 32.6%. The modeled diabetes total is approximately 1,790,170 adults, rounded to 1.8 million. These calculations are not official statewide survey estimates. County confidence intervals are not combined into a statewide interval.

The county estimates describe community conditions, not individual needs or program outcomes. Crude rates reflect different county age structures; they are not age-adjusted rankings of care quality.

New York State’s September 2026 BRFSS Brief No. 2026-19 reports an estimated 1.9 million adults with diagnosed diabetes in the 2024 survey: 12.3%, with a 95% confidence interval of 11.8–12.8%. This statewide survey estimate and SozoRock’s calculation from the 2023 modeled county estimates use different years and methods. Their difference is not a measured trend.
