F

Far fewer attending patients per practice than one practice needs

This site fails on supply: dentist density is high enough at every radius examined that a new practice would be competing for patients already attached to established offices, and the strong local demographics do not offset it.

What stands out

Favorable

At $119,620, the median household here is 49% higher than the Arizona median of $80,392. Cost is less likely to be the limit on what treatment gets accepted.

Elective work

48.1% of households earn more than $125,000, against 28.6% across Arizona. That is the group that funds implants, orthodontics and cosmetic cases without financing.

High attendance

71.8% of adults here saw a dentist in the past year. A higher attendance rate means the population converts into real patients at a better rate than headcount alone would suggest.

Every figure carries a comparison, because a number without one is not information. Rates are shown against Arizona as a whole; counts against an equal-sized circle of average Arizona ground, since a neighborhood's headcount and a state's cannot be set side by side. Age, tooth loss, diabetes and smoking describe the kind of work a practice here would do rather than the quality of the market, so they are shown without a verdict. A figure marked ± is a survey estimate and the number beside it is its margin of error at 90% confidence — the range the true value sits in, not a rounding. Figures without one are complete counts, offices we enumerated ourselves, or figures derived from several estimates at once, where a single margin would overstate what we can honestly claim. Full detail and sources follow in sections 2 to 12.

Section 02

Location & Access

Where the people near this address actually live, and what stands between them and your door.

Every figure in this report is measured inside circles drawn around your address. Patients do not travel in circles — they follow roads — so the map below plots where people actually live, and how far the center of population sits from your door.

Street map of 8888 N SCOTTSDALE RD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ, 85253 with rings at 2, 3, 5 miles.
The ground. Rings mark 2, 3, 5 miles from your address, straight-line. Read the highways, rivers, rail lines and parkland here — these decide whether someone two miles away can actually reach you in a reasonable drive.
The same view showing population centers within 5 miles.
The people. Each blue circle is a neighborhood, sized by how many live in it — bigger circle, more residents, and overlapping circles mean they are packed close. The dark dot is your address. The amber pin is the center of population within 3 miles: the average location of everyone that ring contains. Where nothing blocks access it sits almost on your address, so the gap between the two pins measures how one-sided the market is.
Evenly reachable

Population is distributed evenly around the site: the center of population lies just 0.4 miles from your door and no direction holds more than 21% against an even share of 13%. That suggests no major barrier cuts this radius.

Where to market

The southeast holds 21% of everyone within 3 miles — 3 times the thinnest direction. Direct mail, signage and local sponsorship are worth concentrating there rather than spreading evenly around a circle.

What to look forPatients follow roads, not radii. Trace the highways, rivers and rail lines on the map above and check whether the big circles can actually reach your address. Where a ring crosses a barrier, that ring’s figures include people who will not make the drive.

Section 03

Population

How many people live within reach, how densely, and how they group into households.

Population sets the ceiling on a practice. Households matter as much as headcount, because a household books together: one parent calls and three people come in.

Residents

What this measures
Everyone living inside the ring, all ages, whether or not they see a dentist.
Why it matters
This is the outer limit of the market, not an estimate of your patient base. Only a fraction of these people attend a dentist, and you would win a share of those. Use it to judge whether an area is large enough to enter. Do not use it to forecast a schedule.

3 miles52,215 ± 2,658
5 miles168,621 ± 4,701
Average Arizona ground, 3 mi1,836

How to read thisOne bar per ring, plus a recessive bar showing what a circle this size would hold on average ground in this state — state density multiplied by the ring's area. Above that bar is a denser-than-average market. A large jump from the inner ring to the outer one means most of the market sits beyond a short drive, and the map decides whether those people can reach you.

Population density

What this measures
Residents per square mile inside the ring.
Why it matters
Density is the form of population you can actually compare. A ring's headcount means nothing next to a state's. Density tells you two practical things. How far patients travel to reach you, and how exposed you are to a new competitor. Dense areas protect an incumbent, because a newcomer has to find space and outbid you for it. Thin areas are easier to enter and easier to be entered.

How to read thisThe faint bar at the bottom is the state, for reference. Well above it is a built-up market where patients travel short distances; well below is a spread-out market where they will drive, and where the ring boundary matters less than the road network.

Households

What this measures
Occupied homes inside the ring. A household may hold one person or seven.
Why it matters
The household is the unit that books appointments, chooses a practice and leaves one. Recall, reactivation and most marketing reach a household, not a resident.

How to read thisOne bar per ring, against what an average patch of this state the same size would hold. Read it beside the resident bars above. Residents divided by households gives average household size, which the next figure states directly.

Average household size

What this measures
Residents divided by households. The national figure is about 2.5.
Why it matters
Larger households generally mean children, and children mean a family practice. Hygiene recall in blocks, steadier volume, more insured patients. Below about 2.2 the market is singles and couples, where each new patient brings only themselves.

How to read thisThe bottom bar is the state, drawn faint because it is a reference and not a fourth ring. Small gaps matter here. A tenth of a person per household is a tenth of a person in every home in the ring, so read the printed numbers and not the bar lengths.

Section 04

Growth

Whether this market is gaining people or losing them, measured against the last census.

Two areas can look identical today and still be very different investments, if one is filling up and the other is emptying. You sign a lease for ten years, so direction matters as much as the figures do.

This section compares the 2020 Census against current estimates over exactly the same ground. The 2020 Census is a complete count, not a survey. It is also the only comparison the data supports. Census boundaries were redrawn in 2020, so measuring change from any earlier survey would compare two different pieces of land and call the difference growth.

Population change since 2020

What this measures
How the number of residents has moved since the 2020 Census, measured over identical ground. The 2020 figure is a complete count; the current figure is a survey estimate.
Why it matters
Growth is where new patients without a dentist come from. In a growing area a practice can fill chairs from arrivals; in a flat or shrinking one every patient has to be taken from somebody else, which is slower and costs more. It also decides what the market looks like at the end of a lease, not just at the start.
2 miles+3.2%
3 miles+1.1%
5 miles−0.0%
Arizona+3.2%

How to read thisOne bar per ring against the state at the bottom. Above the state line is growing faster than the state; below the zero line is losing people. Read the direction and rough size, not the decimal. This compares a 2020 count against an estimate centered near 2022, so it understates a market that took off recently.

Where the growth is coming from

What this measures
Population change broken out by ring, so you can see whether the movement is at your door or out at the edge of the market.
Why it matters
Growth three miles out and growth across the street are different propositions. Nearby growth fills a schedule; growth at the far edge of the ring will be closer to somebody else's practice than to yours, and they will get there first.
2 miles+809
3 miles+545
5 miles−50

How to read thisCompare the inner ring against the outer ones. All three moving together is a market changing as a whole. The inner ring flat while the outer ones climb means the building is happening away from this address, and the patients it produces are not automatically yours.

The trend through last year

What this measures
Population change in the counties this ring sits in, from the 2020 Census to the Census Bureau's latest annual estimate. Weighted by how much of the ring falls in each county.
Why it matters
The ring figure above is measured on exactly this ground but its survey window is centered a few years back, so it lags. This one is current to last year and covers whole counties. Together they answer what a single figure cannot. Is the recent direction the same as the measured one, and if not, which way is the market actually moving?
Maricopa County (100% of ring)+6.0%
Arizona+6.5%
What it measuresPeriodChangePer year
This ring exactly2020 Census to 2020–2024 (centered near 2022)+1.1%+0.5%
The counties around it2020 Census to 2025+6.0%+1.2%

The per-year column is what makes these comparable: the two figures cover different lengths of time, so their totals cannot be set side by side directly.

How to read thisEach county the ring touches, with the share of the ring inside it, and the state at the bottom. If these run well above the ring figure, growth has continued since the survey window closed and the ring figure is too low. If they agree, both measures point the same way. Read this as the county's direction, not your address's. A county can grow fast twenty miles away and leave your corner unchanged.

Both measures agree

The exact ring measurement and the county trend through 2025 point the same way — about 0.5% and 1.2% a year respectively. Two independent datasets over different geography and different periods agreeing is the strongest evidence available here that the direction is real.

Flat

Population has moved 1.1% since the 2020 Census — effectively unchanged, against 3.2% for Arizona. This is a settled market. It is not a problem, but it does mean new patients come from competitors or from people who currently see nobody, rather than from moving vans.

Growth is close in

The 2-mile ring is growing faster than the 5-mile ring (3.2% against -0.0%). New households are arriving nearest the site, which is the useful direction — those are the ones most likely to choose a practice on their own street.

Why 2020 and not an older surveyCensus boundaries were redrawn for 2020, so comparing today's figures against a survey from before then would measure different pieces of ground and report the difference as growth. The 2020 Census sits on exactly the geography used throughout this report, which is what makes this comparison sound. The cost is recency: the current estimate averages five years of surveys, so it is centered nearer 2022 than today and understates a market that has taken off since.

Section 05

Income

What households nearby can afford when you present treatment, and how that compares to the state.

Median household income

What this measures
The midpoint household income. Half the households nearby earn more, half earn less. Not an average, so one wealthy household cannot pull it up.
Why it matters
Income is the strongest single demographic predictor of case acceptance. It bears most on elective and cosmetic work, and on how much of a treatment plan a patient funds directly instead of deferring to what insurance covers.

3 miles$119,620 ± $7,292
5 miles$109,436 ± $3,887
Arizona$80,392

How to read thisThe faint bar at the bottom is the state median. Well above it means cost is less likely to be the binding constraint on production. Well below means planning around insurance coverage and payment arrangements.

Households above $125,000

What this measures
The share of households earning more than $125,000 a year.
Why it matters
Two areas can share a median and behave nothing alike. This figure finds the upper tail, meaning the households that fund implants, full-arch cases, orthodontics and cosmetic work without financing. For a practice built on elective work it matters more than the median.
2 miles48.2% ± 3.3%
3 miles48.1% ± 2.4%
5 miles44.0% ± 1.5%
Arizona28.6%

How to read thisThe state sits at the bottom in gray. Read this together with the median above. A ring near the state median but well above it here holds a wealthy minority inside an otherwise ordinary neighborhood. Elective work would come from that minority, not from the area as a whole.

The spread of incomes

What this measures
How households nearby distribute across sixteen income bands.
Why it matters
The shape shows whether you are serving one market or two. A single peak means a predictable payment mix and one fee strategy. Two peaks mean two groups with different limits on what they can accept, which is workable but has to be planned for.

How to read thisOne hump is a uniform market. Two humps with a dip between them is a split market. The vertical line marks the median; where it falls relative to the peaks tells you which group is larger.

Favorable

At $119,620, the median household here is 49% higher than the Arizona median of $80,392. Cost is less likely to be the limit on what treatment gets accepted.

Elective work

48.1% of households earn more than $125,000, against 28.6% across Arizona. That is the group that funds implants, orthodontics and cosmetic cases without financing.

Section 06

Jobs & Employers

How many people work within reach, what they do, and whether one large employer dominates.

Every other section counts people where they sleep. This one counts them where they work.

Those are a separate patient pool with different needs. Someone employed nearby wants an appointment before work, at lunch, or straight after, near the office instead of near home. A practice that opens at 7am can fill chairs a nine-to-five practice never sees.

It also answers something residential data cannot. If a single large employer sits nearby, you want to know, and you want to know in both directions.

Jobs within reach

What this measures
Jobs located inside the ring, counted at the workplace. Wage and salary jobs covered by unemployment insurance — the self-employed and most contractors are not included.
Why it matters
This is the daytime market, and it sits on top of the residents you have already seen. The same person can appear in both if they live and work nearby. It matters most for opening hours. If jobs outnumber residents, early, lunchtime and evening appointments reach people that no amount of evening marketing to households will.

How to read thisOne bar per ring against the state at the bottom, expressed as jobs per resident so the ring and the state are comparable. Above about 1.0 means more people work here than live here, which is an employment center. Well below means a residential area, where patients come from home and not from work.

What those jobs are

What this measures
The share of nearby jobs in each industry sector, and the share in each of the Census Bureau's three monthly earnings bands.
Why it matters
Job quality drives dental benefits, and benefits drive what treatment gets accepted. A market of professional, manufacturing and public-sector employment usually carries employer coverage; one built on food service and retail often does not, at the same job count. The sector mix also tells you who your daytime patients would be, and where a relationship with an employer might be worth building.

How to read thisSectors are largest first. The state comparison sits in the table below the chart, not on it, because twenty paired bars answer one question worse than twenty rows you can scan. A sector well above its state share tells you what this local economy actually is. The pay table uses the Bureau's own bands, which are not adjusted for inflation. Read the top band as the share of jobs most likely to carry benefits.

Whether one employer dominates

What this measures
The largest single cluster of jobs in the ring, as a share of all jobs in it. Measured at census block-group level, so a large plant, hospital or campus shows as one cluster.
Why it matters
A large nearby employer cuts both ways, and the report will not tell you which way it falls. It concentrates hundreds of potential patients at one address, and a relationship with its HR department can be worth more than a year of advertising. It is also a single point of failure. A plant closing takes its share of your daytime patients with it, on a timetable nobody consults you about.
2 miles23.8%
3 miles16.9%
5 miles12.5%

How to read thisOne figure per ring. It is the share of the ring's jobs sitting in its single largest cluster, with the dominant industry named. Above roughly a third is real concentration and worth investigating on the ground. Spread evenly across many employers is more stable and offers no single relationship worth pursuing.

Employment center

About 65,327 jobs sit within 3 miles — 1.25 for every resident, against 0.43 across Arizona. More people work here than live here, so hours decide how much of that market you can reach. Opening before 8am and offering lunchtime appointments reaches people that evening marketing to households never will.

Better-paid work

63.7% of nearby jobs pay above the Census Bureau's top monthly band, against 57.3% across Arizona. Employer dental coverage tends to travel with jobs like these, which usually means fewer conversations about whether treatment can be afforded at all.

Local specialty

Health care and social assistance accounts for 25.2% of nearby jobs against 14.8% statewide — 1.7 times the state share. That is the character of this local economy, and it is who your daytime patients would mostly be.

What this cannot tell youThese figures count jobs, not employers by name. A cluster of three thousand jobs a mile away is visible here; which company it belongs to is not, because no public dataset names employers nationally. Drive it, or search the business park — it takes ten minutes and it is worth doing before you sign. Two further limits: the self-employed are largely absent, since this counts jobs covered by unemployment insurance, and the Census Bureau adds small amounts of noise to protect employer confidentiality, so treat a single cluster figure as approximate and a ring total as sound.

Education

A second read on spending power that moves more slowly than income does.

Read education alongside income, not instead of it. It moves more slowly, so in a changing neighborhood it indicates direction. It is also less distorted by a handful of very high earners.

Bachelor's degree or higher

What this measures
The share of residents aged 25 and over holding a four-year degree or more.
Why it matters
Educated patients research a practice before calling, read treatment plans closely and ask why. That rewards a clear website, visible credentials and time spent explaining. It also means a thin online presence costs more here than elsewhere.

3 miles65.2% ± 2.3%

Arizona33.3%

How to read thisThe state's own figure is the pale bar underneath. Read it beside income. Both well above the state is a straightforwardly affluent market. Education high while income sits near the state figure usually marks younger households early in their careers, whose spending power is ahead of what they currently earn.

Research-first patients

65.2% of adults hold a four-year degree, against 33.3% across Arizona. Patients here are more likely to compare practices online before calling and to read a treatment plan closely — a thin website costs more at this address than it would elsewhere.

Section 08

Age

Which kinds of dentistry this population is most likely to need, and what that means for your chairs.

Age does not make a market good or bad. It makes it a specific kind of market. A young family area and a retirement area can both support a practice; they need different equipment, hours and case mix. Read this section as a description of the work, not a score.

Median age

What this measures
The midpoint. Half the residents are younger, half are older.
Why it matters
Median age indicates case mix. Younger areas lean toward hygiene, sealants, orthodontic referrals and emergencies. Older areas lean toward crowns, endodontics, periodontal maintenance, extractions and implants. Higher value per case, and more work that goes to a specialist.

Older market

A median age of 52.3 against 39.0 for Arizona. Expect a case mix weighted toward crowns, endodontics, periodontal maintenance and implants — higher value per case, and more referral out to specialists.

Ethnicity & Language

Who lives here, what they speak at home, and how many would struggle in an English-only office.

This section is here for one operational reason: a practice cannot treat a patient it cannot communicate with. Informed consent, medical history and post-operative instructions all depend on the patient understanding what you said, and that is a clinical and legal matter before it is a marketing one.

The figures below describe the population near this address. They are not a judgment about it, and nothing in this report grades a location on its composition.

Racial and ethnic composition

What this measures
The share of residents in each category the Census publishes. Hispanic or Latino origin is counted separately from race, so the categories do not overlap and add to the whole population.
Why it matters
It bears on staffing, on which languages your front desk needs, and on whether marketing that worked somewhere else will work here. It says nothing about whether a market is good, and this report does not treat it that way.

How to read thisBars are shares of the ring, largest first. The state comparison sits in the table below the chart, because eight paired bars answer one question worse than eight rows you can scan. A category well above the state figure is the one worth planning around — for hiring, for referral relationships, and for the language figures that follow.

Residents with limited English

What this measures
The share of residents aged 5 and over who report speaking English less than "very well" — the Census Bureau's own threshold, self-reported.
Why it matters
This is the operational number. Informed consent, medical history and post-operative instructions all depend on the patient having understood you, so a substantial share here means planning for bilingual staff, translated forms, or an interpreter line — a clinical and legal matter first, and a good one to get right. Practices that do tend to build a loyal patient base, because being understood is a large part of what people judge a dental office on.
2 miles2.8%
3 miles2.3%
5 miles2.6%
Arizona8.0%

In people, not percent1,158 residents within 3 miles report speaking English less than “very well”. That is the number that decides whether translated consent forms and bilingual staff are worth their cost.

How to read thisOne bar per ring, against the state at the bottom. The headcount matters more than the percentage — five percent of a large ring is thousands of people. Read it with the language breakdown above, which tells you which languages to solve for.

Languages spoken at home

What this measures
The share of residents aged 5 and over who speak each language at home. Published at census-tract level and shared out to the ring by population.
Why it matters
This tells you which languages you are likely to hear at the front desk. If a real share of the neighborhood speaks one, hiring someone who speaks it and translating your forms are ordinary practical decisions, and ones that tend to pay for themselves.

How to read thisBars are the languages present in this ring, largest first, with English-only at the top for scale. The table below gives the headcount for each and how many of those speakers report limited English. Speaking a language at home does not mean struggling in English — the figure above separates the two, and that is the one that changes how you run the practice.

Mostly English

88.0% of residents aged 5 and over speak only English at home, and 2.3% report speaking it less than "very well" against 8.0% statewide. Language is unlikely to be a barrier to care here.

Composition

White residents are 80.4% of this ring against 52.6% across Arizona — 1.5 times the state share. Worth knowing for hiring, for referral relationships, and for whether marketing built elsewhere will land here.

Section 10

Housing

How long the patients you attract are likely to stay, and what a new one is therefore worth.

A new patient is worth what they return for. In an area where most people own their homes, turnover is slower and each patient stays longer. That changes what you can afford to spend acquiring one.

Owner-occupied homes

What this measures
The share of occupied homes lived in by their owner instead of rented.
Why it matters
Owners move less than renters, so patients you win here stay longer and are worth more over their lifetime. That justifies spending more to acquire each one. The same figure carries a warning for a start-up. High ownership alongside flat population growth means few people are arriving without a dentist, so your growth has to come from established practices instead of new arrivals.
2 miles72.2% ± 2.4%
3 miles74.1% ± 1.8%
5 miles69.8% ± 1.1%
Arizona67.4%

How to read thisThe last bar is the state, drawn faint. Well above it is a settled area where each patient you win stays for years, so acquisition spending pays back over a longer period. Well below it is a transient area, where the practice keeps replacing patients it has already paid to attract.

Vacant homes

What this measures
The share of all housing units sitting empty, including homes for sale or rent.
Why it matters
A check on the area's direction. A few percent is normal turnover. Persistently high vacancy alongside falling population is a shrinking market, whatever the income figures say.
2 miles16.4% ± 2.9%
3 miles16.2% ± 2.1%
5 miles14.0% ± 1.1%
Arizona10.5%

How to read thisThe state is the pale bar at the bottom. A few points either side of it is ordinary and means nothing on its own. Only a ring well above the state figure is worth acting on, and only alongside the population and ownership figures, because heavy new construction reads the same way here as decline does.

Patients stay

74.1% of homes are owner-occupied against 67.4% across Arizona. Owners move less, so a patient won here is worth more over their lifetime — which justifies spending more to acquire one.

Check the direction

16.2% of housing units are vacant against 10.5% across Arizona. Elevated vacancy is worth explaining before committing — it can mean new construction still filling, or a market losing people.

Section 11

Dental Demand

How much of this population actually attends a dentist, and what condition their teeth are in.

Most demographic reports stop at population. Population tells you who lives nearby, not who books. About a third of American adults have not seen a dentist in the past year, and that share varies widely between neighborhoods. Two areas with the same population can hold very different numbers of actual patients.

Adults who saw a dentist in the past year

What this measures
The share of adults reporting a dental visit in the last twelve months. A CDC estimate for the area, not a count of these residents.
Why it matters
This converts population into a realistic patient pool. An area of 60,000 where 65% attend holds far more available patients than an area of 60,000 where 45% do. We use this rate rather than dividing residents by offices, because a resident who never books is not anybody's patient. It is an adults-only measure — the CDC publishes no equivalent for children, so children enter the patient pool at a national rate instead, which the methodology page states as an assumption.
2 miles71.5% ± 2.3%
3 miles71.8% ± 2.3%
5 miles70.9% ± 2.3%
Arizona58.4%

How to read thisOne bar per ring with a ± showing the range the CDC's model allows, and the state at the bottom, rolled up from every census tract in it by the same weighting used for a ring. Above the state bar is a market where more people already attend. If the inner ring runs below the outer ones, the people closest to your door attend least. That cuts both ways. Fewer patients are already sitting in someone else's chair, but each new one takes more work.

Adults without health insurance

What this measures
The share of adults under 65 with no health coverage.
Why it matters
Not a dental figure, but the best available signal for how much production would depend on patients paying directly. A high share points to payment plans, membership arrangements, treatment sequenced to spread cost, and slower acceptance of elective work.
2 miles5.3% ± 1.3%
3 miles5.5% ± 1.3%
5 miles6.0% ± 1.4%
Arizona13.6%

How to read thisOne bar per ring with its ± range, and the state at the bottom. Read it against income too. A share above the state figure alongside high income usually means self-employed and contract households, who pay directly because no employer plan covers them. That is a different situation from a low-income area showing the same number.

Older adults who have lost all their teeth

What this measures
The share of residents aged 65 and over with no natural teeth remaining.
Why it matters
A direct read on accumulated need and on how well this population has been served. A high share means demand for dentures, implants and full-arch work. It also indicates long-standing poor access to care, which affects what patients will accept and what they can pay.
2 miles6.5% ± 1.1%
3 miles6.8% ± 1.2%
5 miles6.7% ± 1.1%
Arizona13.5%

How to read thisOne bar per ring, each with the ± range the model allows, and the state underneath. Read it against median age too. The same share means more in a young ring than in a retirement area, because in a young population it cannot be explained by age alone.

Diagnosed diabetes

What this measures
The share of adults told by a professional that they have diabetes.
Why it matters
Diabetes and periodontal disease each make the other harder to control. A high rate means more periodontal maintenance, tighter recall, and more medically complex patients.
2 miles10.4% ± 1.4%
3 miles10.2% ± 1.3%
5 miles9.5% ± 1.2%
Arizona11.3%

How to read thisRings first, state last, each with its ± range. The rings rarely differ by more than those bands, so the comparison that carries information is the one against the state. It is a case-mix figure, not a market-quality figure. A rate above the state means more periodontal work here, not a worse place to practice.

Adults who smoke

What this measures
The share of adults who currently smoke.
Why it matters
Smoking raises periodontal disease and oral cancer risk and lowers implant success. A high rate means more periodontal work, more screening, and implant planning that starts with a frank conversation.
2 miles7.0% ± 1.7%
3 miles7.2% ± 1.8%
5 miles7.6% ± 1.8%
Arizona12.0%

How to read thisSame layout as the figures above: a bar per ring with its ± range, then the state. Read the level against the state and not the rings against each other. Like diabetes above, this describes the work you would be doing, not the quality of the market.

A note on these figuresThese are modeled estimates the CDC publishes for small areas, not counts of the people who live here. They describe the neighborhood reliably and an individual not at all. We use the dental attendance rate to turn population into an estimate of real patients, which is what the saturation figure rests on.

High attendance

71.8% of adults here saw a dentist in the past year. A higher attendance rate means the population converts into real patients at a better rate than headcount alone would suggest.

Competition

Every dental office we found nearby, mapped, with the evidence that each one is open.

A competitor list is only as good as its verification. Practices close, merge, move and get bought without updating anything, so any list built from a single registry contains offices that no longer exist. Those errors all run one way: they make a market look more crowded than it is.

Each office below shows how we confirmed it. Remove any you know to be wrong and the figures recompute.

Dental offices

What this measures
Practices, not dentists. A four-dentist group counts once, because patients choose a practice.
Why it matters
This is the number every report quotes and the one most often wrong. Counting dentists instead of practices, or trusting a registry nobody updates, can double it. The list follows so you can check it.

How to read thisRead the list below, not the count above it. Each entry states how it was confirmed. One office that has closed, or one address holding two practices we recorded as one, moves patients per office further than any demographic estimate in this report — which is why the list is printed in full rather than summarized.

How to read each office
1
The mark carries both facts. A filled center means the office was corroborated by a source independent of the map listing — the practice's own website, a matching record in the national provider registry, or patient reviews. A complete ring means its type was established rather than assumed; the ring shortens as the evidence weakens, and the words beside the specialty name what it rests on.
2
A hollow center and a short arc together mean neither question was settled. Those rows are also tagged in words; anything untagged was corroborated.
Unconfirmed
The listing exists and is not marked closed, but nothing else corroborates it.
May not be a practice
Listed under a person's name with no reviews, no website and no registry match — the signature of a home address or a stray listing. Check these before relying on the count.

Every office below counts toward the figures, including the doubtful ones. Dropping them on a guess would quietly improve the grade, and errors here should run against the site rather than for it.

Section 13

Online Visibility

How findable the practices near you are, and what it would take to be found alongside them.

Most patients looking for a dentist see the same thing first. Google puts two or three practices on a map above the results, and those are the ones that get called. Google says review count, review score and distance all feed that placement, but it has never published how much each one counts.

So this section measures the field instead of predicting a rank. How many reviews the typical practice nearby has, how concentrated they are, and where the gaps sit. Every figure comes from the same listings behind the competitor count in the previous section. Nothing here is modeled, and nothing is bought from a search-marketing vendor.

The review field you would join

What this measures
Google review counts for every dental practice inside the ring, at four points. The typical practice, the upper quarter, third place, and the leader.
Why it matters
Review count is the part of local visibility you control and the part that takes longest to build. Knowing the typical count tells you what a realistic first-year target looks like; knowing the leader's tells you what you are not going to overtake quickly. Both are more useful than a keyword report, because they describe the practices a patient actually sees.

How to read thisFour marks on one scale, from the typical practice up to the leader. A short distance between the median and third place means the top of the map is within reach; a long one means the leaders are far ahead and the middle of the field is the sensible target. These are positions, not a ranking formula — Google does not publish how it orders the map.

Who holds the attention

What this measures
The share of all Google reviews inside the ring held by its five most-reviewed practices.
Why it matters
This decides whether visibility is a race you can win or a position you should take. If five practices hold most of the reviews, the top of the map is settled and outspending them is slow and expensive. If reviews are spread thinly, a new practice with a deliberate review habit can be among the most visible in the area within a year or two.
2 miles34.6%
3 miles21.9%
5 miles15.4%
An even split6.3%

How to read thisOne bar per ring, against what an even split would give five practices for reference. That reference moves with the number of practices, and it has to: five of sixteen hold 31% when every practice is identical, while five of eighty-three hold 6%. The gap between the bar and the even line is the concentration, not the bar's own height.

Practices with no website

What this measures
How many nearby general practices list no website on Google. Counted only among the practices we actually looked up, with that coverage stated.
Why it matters
A practice a patient cannot find online is competing on habit and referral alone. If several nearby have no site, the cheapest advantage available to you is simply being findable. It costs a fraction of what it takes to displace a well-reviewed incumbent.
2 miles (29 checked)0 with no website
3 miles (55 checked)1 with no website
5 miles (107 checked)3 with no website

How to read thisOne bar per ring, with the number checked printed beside it. General practices are reported because those are the ones we verify by design; specialists at their own address are often never looked up, and counting an unchecked practice as having no website would overstate the gap.

The entry bar

The typical practice within 3 miles carries 149 Google reviews. Reaching the visible top three would take roughly 842, and the leader has 1,181. Those are positions in a field, not a ranking formula — Google does not publish how it orders the map — but they tell you what you would be measured against, and the median is a target you can actually budget for.

The top is settled

Five of the 79 practices within 3 miles hold 22% of all 19,258 reviews — 3.5 times what an even split would give them (6%). Displacing them is a multi-year project, and planning to do it quickly is how marketing budgets get spent without moving. Reaching the middle of the field is the reachable goal, and worth more than it sounds: it puts you in front of everyone who does not already have a dentist.

A gap to work with

1 of the 55 general practices we verified within 3 miles have no website listed on Google at all. A patient comparing options online cannot find them. That is the cheapest ground to take in any market, and it does not require outspending anyone.

Ratings are not the lever

The average rating nearby is 4.9 stars. Nearly every practice here rates highly, so a good score does not distinguish you — it only keeps you in contention. The count is what varies, and the count is what you can change.

What this is and is notEvery figure here comes from the same Google listings behind the competitor count in the previous section — nothing is bought from a search-marketing vendor, and nothing is modeled. Review counts are a snapshot taken when this report was generated and they move slowly, so treat them as this quarter's picture rather than today's. We do not predict where you would rank: Google has never published how it weights reviews, ratings and distance, and any report claiming a specific position is guessing.

Patients per Office

Demand and competition in one number: how many attending patients exist per competing practice.

Active patients per office

What this measures
The people in the ring who actually see a dentist, divided by the number of general practices. Adults × the local attendance rate, plus children at the national rate for children, ÷ offices.
Why it matters
This is the headline figure. It estimates how many attending patients exist for each practice competing for them, which is the question a saturation number is meant to answer and the conventional version does not: dividing all residents by all offices counts lifelong non-attenders as though they were somebody's patient. Children are counted here — a general practice's active roster includes them, and the 1,300–1,500 band it is measured against describes that whole roster.

5 miles1,134 ± 31
What one practice needs1,400
01,300–1,500 — what one practice needs3,000+

How to read thisA full-time general practice is commonly held to support 1,300 to 1,500 active patients. Above that range, this measure shows room in the market. Below it, existing practices are already sharing thin demand. Treat the boundary as approximate: it is an industry rule of thumb, not a published standard, and the ADA deliberately publishes no such ratio.

What this measures
All residents in the ring divided by the number of general practices.
Why it matters
Included so you can compare this report against others, which almost all use this measure. It counts people who will never book an appointment, so it runs higher than the patient figure and flatters every market equally. When the two disagree, trust the patient figure — but read them as answers to two different questions, not as rival estimates of one.

How to read thisOne bar per ring, against the residents a full practice actually corresponds to here — the 1,300–1,500 patient band converted using this area's own share of residents who attend a dentist at all. Expect the ring bars to run above the patient figures, and the size of that gap is the share of local residents who are nobody's patient.

Verdict

The grade, the figures that produced it, the adjustments applied, and where it is uncertain.

F

Far fewer attending patients per practice than one practice needs

This measure shows the market well supplied. Before ruling the site out, check the office list for practices that have closed. At low counts one wrong entry moves the figure a long way.

This site fails on supply: dentist density is high enough at every radius examined that a new practice would be competing for patients already attached to established offices, and the strong local demographics do not offset it.

In this market's favor

Favorable

Household income and education in the 3-mile ring run well above the state as a whole, with a median household income of $119,620 against the state median of $80,392 and 65.2% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher versus 33.3% statewide. Populations like this generally support elective and comprehensive treatment planning rather than emergency-driven care.

Favorable

Dental attachment is already high: 71.8% of adults within 3 miles report a recent dental visit and only 5.5% are uninsured, which points to a population accustomed to regular recall and able to pay. The practical consequence is that growth here comes from taking share from existing offices rather than from converting non-users.

Against it

Consider

The 3-mile ring holds 55 general practice offices and 24 specialist offices serving an estimated 37,950 active patients, or roughly 690 patients per office against the 1,300 to 1,500 a single dentist can support. Measured by population the picture is the same, at about 949 residents per office versus a workable range of 2,000 to 3,000, and even after adjustment the figure is 831 patients per office.

Consider

Widening the search does not resolve the problem. The 2-mile ring is tighter still at about 651 patients per office, and the 5-mile ring, at roughly 1,134 patients per office across 107 general practice offices, remains below the 1,300 to 1,500 benchmark. All three radii are classified as crowded, so a modest shift in site selection within this area would not change the underlying supply picture.

Before You Sign

The eight things that decide a location and that no demographic report can measure.

This report measures the market. It cannot measure the property, and a strong market will not rescue a bad site. None of the following appears in demographic data, which is why we do not recommend for or against any address.

  • Visibility and access

    Stand at the road at 8am and again at 5pm. Can you see the building? Can you turn in from both directions, or does a median force a detour? A site invisible from the road pays for that in marketing every year it operates.

  • Parking

    Count the spaces available to your patients at the busiest hour, not the number written into the lease. Shared lots in medical buildings are routinely oversubscribed, and older patients need to park close.

  • Signage rights

    Get what the lease and the local ordinance permit in writing before you sign. Monument signage, illumination and letter height are commonly restricted. A site whose signage you cannot use is not the site you were shown.

  • What is already in the building

    A medical building can hold several dental offices, and our list may show them as one. Read the lobby directory yourself. A specialist upstairs may be a referral source rather than a competitor, or the reverse.

  • Build-out and plumbing

    Operatories need water, drainage, compressed air, vacuum and electrical capacity. Converting retail or office space costs far more than taking over a former dental suite. Walk a contractor through the space before you agree to a rent figure.

  • Lease terms

    Length, renewal options, escalators, exclusivity against another dental tenant, and who pays for build-out. A practice sells for less if its lease is short or non-transferable. Have a healthcare attorney read it.

  • The practices we listed

    Call the two or three nearest, or drive past. You will learn their hours, whether they are taking new patients, and whether they are open at all. That tells you more about the competitive picture than any figure here.

  • Who is close to retiring

    If a nearby practice is a few years from retirement, the market you enter is not the market you will operate in. That information is local and human, and it is worth more than this report.

What this report does not claim

  • We do not recommend for or against any location. You pay for the report; no broker, lender, supplier or landlord pays us anything.

  • Demographic figures describe the area, not your future patients. They bound a market. They do not forecast a schedule.

  • Health figures are CDC model estimates for the neighborhood, not measurements of the people living in it.

  • Competitor lists go stale. We show how each office was confirmed so you can judge the count rather than trust it.

  • Fully inside
  • Partly inside — counted in proportion
  • Outside this ring

53 block groups fall inside the 3-mile ring and 27 are split by its edge. Those 27 are counted in proportion to the area inside, not counted whole — at this site, counting whole units instead misses the mark by up to 15%.

Each shape is a census block group, the smallest area the Census Bureau publishes income and education for. Almost none line up with a circle, so each one counts in proportion to how much of its land falls inside the ring — darker means more of it counted.
Counts before rates
Counts are apportioned and summed first, then rates derived from the totals. It is the only order that gives a correct weighted rate.
Exact radii
Rings are cut in a map projection centered on your address, so a 3-mile radius is 3 miles in every direction rather than approximately so.
Margins of error
Propagated in quadrature for sums, and by the Census Bureau's published formulas for proportions and ratios. Median income is interpolated from the sixteen published brackets, because medians cannot be averaged — tested against the Bureau's own block-group medians, that interpolation is off by 1.16% on average.
Offices, not dentists
Practices are enumerated over a subdividing map grid, so the 60-result cap per search cannot silently truncate a dense market. Same-address listings merge unless their suite numbers differ. The provider registry only corroborates what the map search finds; it is never the primary source, because a registry entry commonly keeps an address the dentist left years ago.

Independence and limits

Independence
Molar Metrics is compensated solely by the purchaser of the report. We accept no commission, referral, or placement fee from any broker, lender, realtor, supplier, or transition consultant, and hold no interest in any property or practice identified here.
Scope
This is a screening of one location against public data. It is not a valuation, appraisal, feasibility study, or professional advice, and it recommends no site.
Permitted use
May be shared, printed, and included in work product for clients or lenders with attribution intact. May not be resold or redistributed as an original demographic product.
Basis of estimates
Demographic figures are survey estimates and carry the margins of error shown. Health and dental-attendance rates are CDC model-based estimates for the area, not measurements of its residents.
Completeness of the office list
A practice with no online presence may be absent, and a recent opening or closure may be recorded incorrectly. Supporting evidence is shown for each office.
