Charlotte by age: the years hair loss is common

Charlotte is younger than North Carolina as a whole, with a median age of 34.4 against 39.1. There are 169,803 men 40 or older in Charlotte (19.2% of residents; less than North Carolina's 23.1%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

108,545 women are 45 to 64, 12.2% of residents, less than North Carolina's 13.2%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[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 Charlotte: above the US rate

For its size, Charlotte is well supplied: 67 dermatology providers, or 7.6 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 5.5 for North Carolina. Roughly 13,200 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Widen the circle and the count grows: 72 in the city or within 10 miles, 122 within 25 miles. For the 2,099,337 people who live within 25 miles, that is 5.8 per 100,000.[NPI][ZCTA]

The Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia area has 135 dermatology providers, and 50% of them work in Charlotte. Mecklenburg County, home to most of Charlotte, has 76 dermatology providers for 1,130,906 residents, 6.7 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

An online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any neighborhood of Charlotte. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

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, Charlotte and North Carolina

North Carolina recorded 122,856 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 11.1 per 1,000 residents, the 19th-highest of 51. For scale, 8.4% of North Carolina's residents live in Charlotte.[NCHS][ACS]

Shedding after a baby (telogen effluvium) is common: it tends to peak around four months after birth and passes, and by the first birthday most women see their hair return to normal fullness, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]

If thinning outlasts that first year, a physician licensed in North Carolina can look for female pattern hair loss. Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested during pregnancy, when trying to conceive or while breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets are not taken while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
