Men and women in Peoria at the ages hair thins

Peoria is younger than Illinois as a whole, with a median age of 35.8 against 38.9. There are 23,382 men 40 or older in Peoria (20.9% of residents; less than Illinois's 23.3%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

Women aged 45 to 64 number 12,916 in Peoria (11.5% 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 Peoria: above the US rate

For its size, Peoria is well supplied: 10 dermatology providers, or 8.9 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 5.7 for Illinois. Each serves, on average, about 11,200 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

The wider area is thinly supplied: 10 dermatology providers within 25 miles of Peoria, 2.9 per 100,000 of the 348,025 people living there.[NPI][ZCTA]

Of the 10 dermatology providers in the Peoria area, 100% are in Peoria itself. Peoria County, home to most of Peoria, has 10 dermatology providers for 179,831 residents, 5.6 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Peoria, 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.

About these counts: NPI registry dermatology providers (October 23, 2026), placed by the city on their practice address and, for the 10- and 25-mile circles, by the center of their ZIP code. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out; a registry is not a workforce survey; residents are ACS 2019–2023.

Postpartum shedding, Peoria and Illinois

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, 0.9% of Illinois's residents live in Peoria.[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]
