The numbers of ESRD facilities varied widely by state in 2018, with north central and southeastern states generally having the greatest concentration of facilities per resident.

Chart Explanation: 

In 2018, the number of ESRD facilities per 1,000 ESRD patients varied dramatically by state. Hawaii, New York, and California had the least facilities per 1,000 ESRD patients (approximately 6-9); whereas South Dakota (17.5), Kentucky (14.2), Louisiana (14) had the most facilities per 1,000 ESRD patients.

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) is a national registry of all patients treated for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. It is sponsored by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that reports prevalence of all treated ESRD in the United States. U.S. population denominators are determined through U.S. Census data. Tables from the USRDS annual report (United States Renal Data System, 2020) are publicly available for download.
