How this list was built
Practices are assigned to Norfolk by geocoding their street address against Census boundaries, not by their mailing town. That distinction matters in Virginia: the Commonwealth has 38 independent cities that sit outside any county, and mailing addresses cross those lines constantly. Fourteen practices with an “Alexandria” address, for example, are physically in Fairfax County.
475 of 507 practices in the registry could be placed this way. The remaining 32 are addresses the Census geocoder could not resolve, and they are left out rather than guessed at — so this count is a floor, not an estimate.
