"The government is very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the village watchman, who just puts down what he damn (well) pleases."
Josiah Charles Stamps1st Baron Stamp of Shortlands President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, statistician and administrator 1880-1941

Summary – Supply RatiosOver time, the supply ratios have decreased or remained flat for all of the mental health professions Statewide and in Central Texas.
Central Texas had higher supply ratios than Texas as a whole for the mental health professions.
The supply ratios for the non-mental health professions have been increasing in Texas and Central Texas over the long term *except Dentists, where the ratios have remained relatively flat in both, andPharmacists, which have shown a decrease in Central Texas.
For at least the last decade, the Central Texas supply ratios have been higher than the Texas supply ratios for 5 of the 7 non-mental health professions.
Note: This summary only applies to the professions included in this presentation (14 professions).
Summary – Race/EthnicityWhites comprised the majority of all professions in Texas*, and Central Texas had a higher percentage of Whites in both those professions and the population than did Texas as a whole.
Texas had a higher percentage of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asian/Orientals/Pacific Islanders than did Central Texas for all professions.
Texas had a higher percentage of Native American/Alaskan Natives than did Central Texas for 5 professions; Central Texas had a higher percentage for 3 professions, and for 1 profession, the percentage was equal.*Note: These conclusions only apply to the professions included in this presentation for which race/ethnicity was available (9 professions).
Summary – Race/Ethnicity TrendsThe percentages - and supply ratios - of non-White physicians, physician assistants, and registered nurses are generally increasing both in Texas and Central Texas.
However, Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented, compared to their proportion of the general population.
The proportion of Hispanic health providers is growing slowly compared to their rate of growth in the general population.
The proportion of “Others” are generally higher than their proportion in the general population
Note: These conclusions only apply to physicians, physician assistants, and registered nurses.
Summary – Gender & Median Ages
For all professions, other than psychiatric nurses, Central Texas had a higher percentage of females in the workforce than did Texas as a whole.*
For Texas, the median ages of males were higher than those of females for 6 of 10 professions, and were equal in 2 others.**
Texas had higher median ages than Central Texas for 9 of 13 professions, and the median ages were the same for the other 4 professions.**
*applies only to the professions included in this presentation for which gender was available (10 professions)**applies only to the professions included in this presentation for which age was available (13 professions).
Summary – Race/Ethnicity & Median Ages
Note: This summary only applies to the professions included in this presentation for which race/ethnicity and age were available (9 professions).
For 6 of 9 professions, Whites had the highest median ages.
The categories of Asian/Pacific Islanders or “Other” had the lowest median ages in 7 of 9 professions.
Marriage and Family Therapists had the highest median ages, and Physical and Occupational Therapists had the lowest median ages.
Mental Health professions generally had higher median ages than other professions.
Based on the information presented here:
The supply ratios are increasing for most
professions other than mental health, suggesting
that those professionals who leave the workforce
are being replaced by new practitioners, and that
new practitioners are entering the professions at a
greater rate than the population growth. However,
the workforce is aging, and more study will be
required to understand how this will affect supply
ratios in the future.
Conclusions
In general, based on the information presented here:
Central Texas providers are generally younger than the providers in the state as a whole.
There is less racial/ethnic diversity - both in the general population and in the professions included in this presentation - in Central Texas than in Texas as a whole.
There is more gender diversity in Central Texas than in Texas as a whole.
Conclusions
Conclusions
In general, based on the information presented here:
If the status quo is maintained, the proportions of minorities in the health professions should continue to increase (although perhaps at a slower rate in Central Texas), but it will likely take some time before Blacks and Hispanics are represented in proportions comparable to their proportion in the general population.
