Dermatologist access in New Jersey: below average

New Jersey has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 481 in the NPI registry, or 5.2 per 100,000 residents, 6% under the national 5.5. It ranks 26th of the 50 states and DC. Each one serves, on average, about 19,300 people. Matching the national rate would take about 514 providers for 9,267,014 residents, 33 more than New Jersey has.[NPI][ACS]

Most of them are in one place: 77% practice in the New York-Newark-Jersey City area. The remaining 23% serve the rest of New Jersey.[OMB][NPI]

Three of New Jersey's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: New York 7.0, Connecticut 7.9, Pennsylvania 6.2 and Delaware 3.9).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Virginia: 8,657,499 residents, 5.5 per 100,000; Michigan: 10,051,595 residents, 5.3 per 100,000; North Carolina: 10,584,340 residents, 5.5 per 100,000), New Jersey has the fewest providers per resident.[NPI][ACS]

Outside the New York-Newark-Jersey City area, the nearest dermatology office may be farther from home; an online visit for pattern hair loss does not depend on distance. 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.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in New Jersey

New Jersey recorded 101,372 births to residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), a birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents. The fertility rate was 55.7 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 21st-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: New York 10.3, Connecticut 9.4, Pennsylvania 9.7 and Delaware 10.0.[NCHS]

Heavy shedding in the months after a birth is normal, not true hair loss, says the American Academy of Dermatology. It tends to be worst around month four and passes on its own; by the baby’s first birthday most women’s hair is as full as before.[1]

While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during breastfeeding. If thinning lasts past the baby’s first year, or your part keeps widening, a physician can check for female pattern hair loss. Once you are no longer breastfeeding, a physician may consider oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a prescription scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[2][3][4]

New Jersey by age: the years hair loss is common

Of New Jersey's 9,267,014 residents, 1,815,793 are men aged 25 to 54, 39.8% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is New York 40.2%, Connecticut 38.4%, Pennsylvania 38.4% and Delaware 36.9%.[ACS]

1,566,077 women are 40 to 64, 33.3% of New Jersey's women and above 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 New York 32.0%, Connecticut 33.5%, Pennsylvania 31.8% and Delaware 32.3% of all women.[5][ACS]

Those age counts are not counts of hair loss. The only figures are national: an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US, with more than half of men over 50 showing some hair loss.[6]
