How we calculated this
We count the open hospitals that CMS classifies as psychiatric hospitals in its Hospital General Information file (or, for the Greater Houston area, in the hospital's CMS record), grouped by the state in the hospital's address. The share is the state's psychiatric hospitals divided by all of that state's hospitals.
