Men and women in Kansas City at the ages hair thins

Kansas City's median age is 35.7, below Missouri's 38.9: a younger city than its state. Men 40 and older number 105,203, or 20.7% of the city, less than Missouri's 23.2%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[1][ACS]

60,264 women are 45 to 64, 11.9% of residents, less than Missouri's 12.7%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][ACS]

Those are age counts, not counts of hair loss: the only prevalence figures are national, an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US.[1]

Dermatologists in Kansas City: about the national rate

Kansas City has 24 dermatology providers in the NPI registry, 4.7 per 100,000 residents. That is close to the national 5.5 and below Missouri's 5.2. That is one for about 21,200 residents.[NPI][ACS]

Within 10 miles of the city there are 61 dermatology providers, and within 25 miles 120, about 6.3 per 100,000 of the 1,900,840 residents in that radius.[NPI][ZCTA]

Most dermatology care in the Kansas City metro area is elsewhere: Kansas City has 20% of the area's 121 providers.[NPI][OMB]

Pattern hair loss can be assessed online, from home in Kansas City. 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.

After a baby: hair shedding near Kansas City

In 2024, 67,998 babies were born to residents of Missouri, roughly 186 a day, a birth rate of 10.9 per 1,000 residents. For scale, 8.2% of Missouri's residents live in Kansas City.[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]

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]
