Men and women in Huntsville at the ages hair thins

Huntsville is younger than Alabama as a whole, with a median age of 36.4 against 39.3. There are 46,861 men 40 or older in Huntsville (21.4% of residents; less than Alabama's 23.1%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

26,341 women are 45 to 64, 12.0% of residents, less than Alabama's 13.1%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][ACS]

Nobody counts pattern hair loss city by city. Across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, so this page gives ages, not an estimate.[1]

Dermatologist access in Huntsville: close to the US rate

At 5.0 per 100,000 residents, Huntsville's 11 dermatology providers put it near the US rate of 5.5; Alabama as a whole has 4.0. Roughly 19,900 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

The wider area is thinly supplied: 25 dermatology providers within 25 miles of Huntsville, 4.1 per 100,000 of the 604,314 people living there, 19 of them in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

The Huntsville area has 20 dermatology providers, and 55% of them work in Huntsville. Madison County, home to most of Huntsville, has 19 dermatology providers for 397,135 residents, 4.8 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Huntsville, an online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any address. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Postpartum shedding, Huntsville and Alabama

Alabama recorded 57,934 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 11.2 per 1,000 residents, the 17th-highest (tied) of 51. Huntsville holds 4.3% of the state's 5,054,253 people.[NCHS][ACS]

The American Academy of Dermatology says heavy shedding after a birth usually peaks about four months later, is temporary, and is not true hair loss; most women’s hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday.[3]

Thinning that has not settled after a year, or a part that keeps widening, is worth a physician's look. The safety rules come first: finasteride and spironolactone are off the table in pregnancy, when trying to conceive and while breastfeeding, and so are minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
