Where did your figures come from as you don't post with a link and we don't know what zip code you live in? Until you do, your numbers are meaningless.
My numbers do mean something: The number of Ca notaries for 2005/2006 were taken from our Ca Sec of State Handbook on the 1st page for both years.
2005 notaries in Calif (236,000 notaries with a population of approx. 35,893,800) 1 Notary for every 146 people.
2006 (260,000 Notaries with a population of approx 36,456,389, has: 1 notary for every 140 people!! Well thats a huge gain of approx 6 notaries per 100 population!!
Calif. has the lowest per capita Notary ratio in the nation by at least half. (The reasons: we have the hardest test in the United States and also now have a 6 hour study requirement that started in July 2005.) My guess is this will probably decrease the number of Notaries in Ca, but only time will tell and this is a guess on my part.
New York has 1 notary per 70 people. population 19 million with 250,000 notaries
Texas has 1 notary for every 61 people population 22 million with 352,000 notaries
Florida has 1 notary per 57 people population 17 million with 365,000 notaries
Go to States such as Kansas and this state has 1 notary for every 21 people.
I received a call from a title company today from Denver and I wasn't in her zip code she wanted to hire and she used notary rotary and when she found me she said "I was the only notary that answered the phone call."
