What are the current and projected future doctor to patient ratios in geriatrics?

There are currently 7,162 allopathic and osteopathic certified geriatricians in the US — one geriatrician for every 2,620 Americans 75 or older. Due to the projected increase in the number of older Americans, this ratio is expected to drop to one geriatrician for every 3,798 older Americans in 2030.

There are far fewer geriatric psychiatrists. Currently there are 1,751 - one for every 10,865 older Americans. That ratio is projected to decrease by 2030 to one geropsychiatrist for every 12,557 Americans 75 and older.
