Who pattern hair loss affects in Nashville

Nashville's median age is 34.4, below Tennessee's 38.9: a younger city than its state. 132,779 men aged 40 and older live here, 19.4% 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]

Nashville has 77,053 women aged 45 to 64, 11.3% of its people, less than Tennessee's 13.0%. For most women, pattern thinning begins in their 40s, 50s or 60s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[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 Nashville

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, 9.8% of Tennessee's residents live in Nashville.[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 Nashville: more per resident than the US

74 dermatology providers in the NPI registry give an office address in Nashville. Per 100,000 residents that is 10.8, above the national 5.5 and above Tennessee's 4.1. Roughly 9,200 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Within 25 miles of Nashville there are 114 dermatology providers for 1,332,307 residents (8.6 per 100,000), a dense supply; 74 are in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Nashville holds 55% of the 135 dermatology providers in the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin metro area; the rest practice in its other towns.[NPI][OMB]

Even where offices are close, an online visit for pattern hair loss fits around work and family without a waiting room. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

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.
