Men and women in Akron at the ages hair thins

Akron's median age is 37.2, below Ohio's 39.6: a younger city than its state. There are 41,287 men 40 or older in Akron (21.8% of residents; less than Ohio's 23.7%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

23,987 women are 45 to 64, 12.7% of residents, less than Ohio's 12.9%: 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 Akron: about the national rate

Akron has 9 dermatology providers in the NPI registry, 4.7 per 100,000 residents. That is close to the national 5.5 and about level with Ohio's 4.9. Roughly 21,100 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Within 10 miles of the city there are 24 dermatology providers, and within 25 miles 73, about 4.4 per 100,000 of the 1,643,188 residents in that radius.[NPI][ZCTA]

Akron holds 27% of the 33 dermatology providers in the Akron metro area; the rest practice in its other towns. Across Summit County the figure is 5.9 per 100,000: 32 providers for 538,087 residents.[NPI][OMB]

An online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any neighborhood of Akron. Sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, is for a dermatologist in person.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Akron

In 2024, 126,795 babies were born to residents of Ohio, roughly 346 a day, a birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents. Akron holds 1.6% of the state's 11,780,046 people.[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]
