Who pattern hair loss affects in Champaign

Champaign is younger than Illinois as a whole, with a median age of 27.1 against 38.9. Men 40 and older number 13,949, or 15.7% of the city, less than Illinois's 23.3%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[1][ACS]

Women aged 45 to 64 number 7,532 in Champaign (8.5% of residents; less than Illinois's 12.8%). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern thinning usually starts in midlife and is more common after menopause.[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 Champaign: above the US rate

For its size, Champaign is well supplied: 6 dermatology providers, or 6.8 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 5.7 for Illinois. Each serves, on average, about 14,800 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

The wider area is thinly supplied: 10 dermatology providers within 25 miles of Champaign, 4.1 per 100,000 of the 246,406 people living there, 10 of them in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Of the 10 dermatology providers in the Champaign-Urbana area, 60% are in Champaign itself. Champaign County, home to most of Champaign, has 10 dermatology providers for 206,098 residents, 4.9 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Champaign, an online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any address. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

The NPI registry (October 23, 2026) lists where each dermatology provider practices. A provider counts in the city when the practice address names it, and within 10 or 25 miles by the center of the practice ZIP code. Not counted: physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dermatopathologists. Rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 residents.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Champaign

Illinois recorded 125,731 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 9.9 per 1,000 residents, the 39th-highest (tied) of 51. For scale, 0.7% of Illinois's residents live in Champaign.[NCHS][ACS]

Many new mothers notice clumps of hair coming out a few months after delivery. Dermatologists say it peaks about four months after birth and is temporary, with fullness usually back by the baby’s first birthday.[3]

No finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. After that, thinning that lasts past a year may be female pattern hair loss, which a physician can assess online.[4][5][6]
