Washington by age: the years hair loss is common
Washington's men skew toward working age: 1,646,526 are 25 to 54, 42.2% of the state's 3,898,212 men, against 39.7% nationally. In its nearest states the share is Oregon 41.0%, Idaho 37.8%, Montana 37.2% and Utah 39.7%.[ACS]
1,192,320 women are 40 to 64, 31.0% of Washington's women and below 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 Oregon 31.5%, Idaho 29.6%, Montana 30.8% and Utah 26.8% of all women.[1][ACS]
Those age counts are not counts of hair loss. The only figures are national: an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US, with more than half of men over 50 showing some hair loss.[2]
Dermatologist access in Washington: about average
At 5.8 dermatology providers per 100,000 residents, Washington sits about at the national rate of 5.5: 451 providers in the NPI registry, 17th of the 50 states and DC. Each one serves, on average, about 17,200 people. Matching the national rate would take about 430 providers for 7,740,984 residents, 21 fewer than Washington has.[NPI][ACS]
Most of them are in one place: 66% practice in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area. The remaining 35% serve the rest of Washington.[OMB][NPI]
Two of Washington's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Oregon 5.9, Idaho 3.7, Montana 5.3 and Utah 6.3).[NPI][ACS]
Against the three states closest to it in population (Arizona: 7,268,175 residents, 5.8 per 100,000; Massachusetts: 6,992,395 residents, 10.2 per 100,000; Tennessee: 6,986,082 residents, 4.1 per 100,000), Washington has more providers per resident than two of them.[NPI][ACS]
Far from the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area, a dermatology office may be a longer trip; an online intake for pattern hair loss is the same from any town in Washington. For sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, see a dermatologist in person.
About the count: dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry (October 23, 2026), by practice location, without dermatopathologists, physician assistants or nurse practitioners. A registry is not a workforce survey, and ACS 2019–2023 population is the denominator.
Hair shedding after pregnancy in Washington
Washington recorded 83,118 births to residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), a birth rate of 10.4 per 1,000 residents. The fertility rate was 51.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 39th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Oregon 9.1, Idaho 11.6, Montana 10.0 and Utah 13.3.[NCHS]
Heavy shedding in the months after a birth is normal, not true hair loss, says the American Academy of Dermatology. It tends to be worst around month four and passes on its own; by the baby’s first birthday most women’s hair is as full as before.[3]
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. Thinning that outlasts the baby’s first year, or a part that keeps getting wider, is worth a physician’s look for female pattern hair loss. After breastfeeding ends, the options a physician may weigh are oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a scalp spray mixed without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[4][5][6]
