Who pattern hair loss affects in Oregon

Oregon's men skew toward working age: 867,058 are 25 to 54, 41.0% of the state's 2,113,849 men, against 39.7% nationally. In its nearest states the share is Washington 42.2%, Idaho 37.8%, Montana 37.2% and Utah 39.7%.[ACS]

668,668 women are 40 to 64, 31.5% of Oregon's women and level with 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 Washington 31.0%, Idaho 29.6%, Montana 30.8% and Utah 26.8% 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 Oregon: above average

Oregon's 251 registered dermatology providers come to 5.9 per 100,000 people, a little above the 5.5 national rate (16th of 51). Put another way, roughly 16,900 residents of Oregon share each one. At the national rate, Oregon's 4,238,714 residents would have about 235; it has 16 more.[NPI][ACS]

The Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro area, the largest metro here, holds 63% of them. 38% practice elsewhere in Oregon.[OMB][NPI]

One of Oregon's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Washington 5.8, Idaho 3.7, Montana 5.3 and Utah 6.3).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Oklahoma (146 providers, 3.7 per 100,000), Kentucky (168 providers, 3.7 per 100,000) and Louisiana (235 providers, 5.1 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

For people who live well outside the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro area, an online visit means no drive to a dermatology office for pattern hair loss. For sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, see a dermatologist in person.

These are dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, counted where they practice. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out, some listed providers no longer see patients, and the rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 population.

After a baby: hair shedding in Oregon

Oregon's birth rate is among the lowest in the country, 9.1 per 1,000 residents in 2024 (the 5th-lowest of 51). That still meant 38,963 babies born to residents of Oregon, about 106 a day. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 46.1 births, the 47th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Washington 10.4, Idaho 11.6, Montana 10.0 and Utah 13.3.[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]

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). Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested to anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets should not be taken while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
