The Inland Empire recorded 194 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 117 new providers this week, indicating a substantial burst of activity in the region. The records include 185 individuals and 9 organizations, although NPI registration does not confirm that a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a clinic or offering ABA services. The concentration signals that the Inland Empire is an important behavioral health labor market within the national update.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 6 BCBA providers and 107 RBT providers. No providers are reported with both BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive with the other credential or taxonomy categories, because individual records can carry multiple designations. The wide gap between RBT and BCBA counts points to a workforce weighted toward direct implementation rather than clinical supervision. For ABA operators, that pattern can support service delivery only if the smaller BCBA group has sufficient capacity to supervise RBTs and oversee treatment plans. The update also reports 32 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that registry categories may overlap.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 145 providers, or 78% of the reported workforce. Men account for 32 providers, or 17%, while 8 providers, or 4%, are listed as nonbinary. No organization appears multiple times among the notable organizations. Riverside is the leading city with 59 providers, followed by San Bernardino with 19, Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga with 18 each, and Victorville with 10. The distribution suggests strong ABA workforce growth, but sustained access expansion will depend on increasing BCBA supervision capacity alongside the region’s RBT base.
