Knoxville by age: the years hair loss is common

Knoxville's median age is 33.3, below Tennessee's 38.9: a younger city than its state. 36,585 men aged 40 and older live here, 18.9% of all residents, less than Tennessee's 23.1%. Pattern hair loss in men becomes more common with age; more than half of men over 50 have some.[1][ACS]

20,591 women are 45 to 64, 10.6% of residents, less than Tennessee's 13.0%: 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]

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Knoxville

Births are counted by state, not by city. Tennessee has one of the higher birth rates in the country, 11.6 per 1,000 residents in 2024 (the 8th-highest (tied) of 51), with 83,833 babies born to its residents. For scale, 2.8% of Tennessee's residents live in Knoxville.[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]

Dermatologists in Knoxville: more per resident than the US

23 dermatology providers in the NPI registry give an office address in Knoxville. Per 100,000 residents that is 11.9, above the national 5.5 and above Tennessee's 4.1. Roughly 8,400 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Even counting 25 miles out, there are 36 dermatology providers for 849,107 residents, 4.2 per 100,000, below the national rate; 24 are within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Knoxville anchors dermatology care in the Knoxville metro area: 68% of the area's 34 providers practice in the city. Across Knox County the figure is 4.9 per 100,000: 24 providers for 487,401 residents.[NPI][OMB]

With fewer dermatology offices in Knoxville, an online visit for pattern hair loss is one more way to be seen without a wait for a local appointment slot. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

The NPI registry (October 23, 2026) lists where each dermatology provider practices. A provider counts in the city when the practice address names it, and within 10 or 25 miles by the center of the practice ZIP code. Not counted: physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dermatopathologists. Rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 residents.
