Who pattern hair loss affects in Montana

Fewer of Montana's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 208,514 men aged 25 to 54, 37.2% of 560,035, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Idaho 37.8%, Wyoming 38.0%, Utah 39.7% and Washington 42.2%.[ACS]

167,613 women are 40 to 64, 30.8% of Montana'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 Idaho 29.6%, Wyoming 30.5%, Utah 26.8% and Washington 31.0% of all women.[1][ACS]

Nationally, androgenetic alopecia affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, and more than half of men over 50 have some hair loss. There is no state count, so this page does not estimate one.[2]

Dermatologist access in Montana: about average

Montana is close to average for dermatology access. The NPI registry has 59 dermatology providers practicing here, 5.3 per 100,000 residents next to 5.5 for the country, which ranks 24th of 51. Each one serves, on average, about 18,700 people. At the national rate, Montana's 1,105,072 residents would have about 61; it has 2 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

Dermatology care in Montana is spread out: the Billings area, the largest metro, has 17% of the providers.[OMB][NPI]

Two of Montana's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Idaho 3.7, Wyoming 3.3, Utah 6.3 and Washington 5.8).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Rhode Island (88 providers, 8.0 per 100,000), Delaware (39 providers, 3.9 per 100,000) and South Dakota (59 providers, 6.6 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Online, the distance to the nearest office stops mattering anywhere in Montana. 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.

About the count: dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry (October 23, 2026), by practice location, without dermatopathologists, physician assistants or nurse practitioners. A registry is not a workforce survey, and ACS 2019–2023 population is the denominator.

After a baby: hair shedding in Montana

In 2024, 11,331 babies were born to residents of Montana, roughly 31 every day. The birth rate, 10.0 per 1,000 residents, was the 35th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 53.3 births, the 30th-highest (tied) fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Idaho 11.6, Wyoming 10.4, Utah 13.3 and Washington 10.4.[NCHS]

The American Academy of Dermatology describes shedding after childbirth (telogen effluvium) as normal and temporary. It usually peaks about four months after giving birth, and most women see their hair return to its normal fullness by their child’s first birthday.[3]

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). While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
