As usual, you are.......wrong, that is. Government websites are probably the least useful places to get real information on professions, aside from the schools themselves.

The number of practices available for purchase will be a tiny fraction of the numbers of ODs being spewed out into the profession. This virtually guarantees that what I've been saying all along will come true - that most grads from now on will be heading right into the commercial gallows.
I'm surprised you're still unable to see what's right in front of you, even after all this time. Shnurek, you're foolish to look at older, established ODs and think you're on par with them as far as opportunity. You're not. Ask that "positive" OD what he paid for his schooling. Ask him when he bought/started his office. Optometry was a very different profession when he started. It's not that way anymore, but prospects like you see what they have done and think you can repeat it. Good luck with that.
