Returns HPSA ID, score (0–26; higher = greater need), FTE practitioners needed, designated population, poverty share and dates, sorted by score, with the exact total.

Addresses and points are resolved with the U.S. Census Geocoder. Use for 'is this practice site in a HPSA / MUA' (NHSC, Medicare HPSA bonus, FQHC eligibility) questions."
