Dermatologist access in Minnesota: among the most

With 6.7 dermatology providers per 100,000 residents (382 in the NPI registry), Minnesota is among the best supplied anywhere: 7th of 51, and 20% above the national 5.5. Put another way, roughly 15,000 residents of Minnesota share each one. At the national rate, Minnesota's 5,713,716 residents would have about 317; it has 65 more.[NPI][ACS]

The Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington area, the largest metro here, holds 62% of them. 38% practice elsewhere in Minnesota.[OMB][NPI]

Minnesota has more dermatology providers per resident than any of its four nearest states (per 100,000: Iowa 3.8, Wisconsin 6.0, South Dakota 6.6 and North Dakota 5.0).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Colorado (362 providers, 6.2 per 100,000), Wisconsin (351 providers, 6.0 per 100,000) and Missouri (319 providers, 5.2 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Far from the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington area, a dermatology office may be a longer trip; an online intake for pattern hair loss is the same from any town in Minnesota. Hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly, is best seen by a dermatologist in person.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry, by practice location, October 23, 2026; dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted. Rates use ACS 2019–2023 population: good for comparing states, not an exact current ratio.

After a baby: hair shedding in Minnesota

In 2024, 62,110 babies were born to residents of Minnesota, roughly 170 every day. The birth rate, 10.7 per 1,000 residents, was the 23rd-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 55.2 births, the 24th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Iowa 11.2, Wisconsin 10.0, South Dakota 12.4 and North Dakota 12.1.[NCHS]

Many new mothers notice heavy shedding a few months after giving birth. The American Academy of Dermatology says it usually peaks about four months after birth, is temporary and is not true hair loss, and that most women see their hair return to its normal fullness by their child’s first birthday.[1]

Thinning that outlasts the baby’s first year, or a part that keeps getting wider, is worth a physician’s look for female pattern hair loss. After breastfeeding ends, the options a physician may weigh are oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a scalp spray mixed without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved). Two rules come first: no finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[2][3][4]

Who pattern hair loss affects in Minnesota

Of Minnesota's 5,713,716 residents, 1,115,930 are men aged 25 to 54, 39.0% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is Iowa 37.2%, Wisconsin 37.7%, South Dakota 36.7% and North Dakota 38.8%.[ACS]

882,933 women are 40 to 64, 31.0% of Minnesota's women and below the national 31.5%: the midlife years when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss usually begins. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Iowa 30.0%, Wisconsin 31.8%, South Dakota 29.3% and North Dakota 27.3% of all women.[5][ACS]

Pattern hair loss can start as early as the teens and becomes more likely with age; across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women. There is no count by state, and this page does not guess one.[6]
