The short answer

The disparity lookup covers all 51 jurisdictions; 50 clear the 5,000-licensee comparative floor used on state pages.

These tools run against the same Public Citizen HRG 2021-2023 board-rate cohort (national average 0.81/1k) and the live HHS OIG LEIE archive (83,695 exclusions). A disparity ratio places a jurisdiction against the national baseline; it is an enforcement-intensity read, not a misconduct prevalence score. Dataset vintage: August 2026.

What a lookup returns

According to the Public Citizen / FSMB census join, a disparity lookup returns a rate for all 51 jurisdictions; 50 (98%) clear the 5,000-licensee comparative floor used on state pages. Deeper HHS OIG LEIE rows carry a license number on only 10.6% of 83,695 exclusions.
