Parkinson’s Hotspots: Where in the U.S. the Disease Hits Hardest in 2025

Parkinson’s disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 1.1 million Americans. It is characterized by the breakdown of neurons in the brain, leading to symptoms such as tremors, reduced balance and motor skills, slurred speech, and impaired cognition. Parkinson’s is a progressive condition, meaning its effects worsen over time. While certain treatments can slow the disease’s progression and reduce the severity of symptoms, there is no known cure. In recent years, there has been an alarming surge in Parkinson’s diagnoses in the United States.

According to a 2022 study conducted by the Parkinson’s Foundation, a research organization, nearly 90,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease every year, a 50% increase from previous estimates. While the disease itself is not fatal, complications associated with Parkinson’s—such as falls, pneumonia, and other infections—can increase the overall risk of death for Americans living with the condition.

The exact causes of Parkinson’s disease are unknown, but certain factors—such as genetics—appear to play a role. Older Americans – particularly men — are at higher risk of developing Parkinson’s, and increasing diagnosis rates may be attributable in part to the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. In addition to age, sex, and genetics, environmental conditions such as exposure to pesticides also appear to play a role. Likely due to a combination of demographic and environmental factors, Parkinson’s disease is far more common in certain parts of the country than in others.

Using data compiled by the Parkinson’s Foundation, 24/7 Wall St. identified the states with the highest rates of Parkinson’s disease. States are ranked in ascending order by the estimated percentage of the population aged 45 and older diagnosed with Parkinson’s as of 2018, the latest year of available data. Percentages were calculated using population data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey. Supplemental data on Parkinson’s mortality is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is current as of 2022. Median age by state is also from the ACS.

Depending on the state, the share of the population aged 45 and older with Parkinson’s disease ranges from about 0.68% to 0.85%. Notably, the disease is much more prevalent among people of retirement age. As a result, states with older populations generally have higher rates of Parkinson’s than those with younger populations. (Here is a look at how the aging population will impact the U.S. economy.)

These are the states where the most people have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Why It Matters

Parkinson’s is a progressive disease that causes deterioration of the brain. It currently affects more than 1 million Americans and has become much more prevalent in recent years, with annual diagnosis rates increasing by about 50%. While treatment can slow the disease’s progression and reduce the severity of symptoms, there is no known cure. Although the precise causes of Parkinson’s are unknown, demographic and environmental factors in certain parts of the country appear to be contributing to the disease’s rising prevalence.
