Number of Licensees by State/ Territory
Category selection was difficult.
The thread about redefining Land Surveying got me over to the NCEES website. Couldn't find their model definition, but found the link above.
Info that I've wondered about in the past and didn't know it was so readily available.
Guessing that's all professional disciplines in all locales.
It is interesting information isn't it. Some states like California are discipline specific which means that engineers are licensed as a specific discipline (i.e. civil. electrical, mechanical, etc.) Other states simply license as a Professional Engineer designation and the licensee is responsible for practicing within their area of expertise.

Thanks very much for posting this.
Also, a thanks to Mr. Moore for the model law link. Haven't had a chance to read it but, have it marked for later.
It's interesting to look at total survey licensees (LS only + duel LS/PE both resident and out of state) and compare it to the population.
I've met a couple of surveyors who moved up here from North Carolina because there were so many surveyors the competition was killing business (or so they said). Maryland has 1 surveyor for every 7,250 +/- people; North Carolina 1 for every 3,250 +/-.
Looking forward to your full list of 51 population comparison chart.

Settle in, you're going to be waiting for a while
In Texas,
10,000 people per 1 RPLS
Why, at 2-fitty a lot survey, that's a cool 900k for each one of us, considering that even those baby's counted in the census will one day by a house.
Wimps. 😉
There are 920 licensed surveyors in NJ and 8,899,339. So there's one for every 9,700 people. I'm one of the dual licenses, so there are only 216 of those. You would think we could charge more.....:-(
