As explained above, acquired prosopagnosia following brain damage is rare. However, developmental prosopagnosia appears to be much more common. In recent years, a flurry of media attention has raised awareness of the disorder, and thousands of people who believe they have prosopagnosia have approached researchers throughout the world. However, little work has resulted in a formal estimate of the prevalence of developmental prosopagnosia. A recent study conducted in Germany surveyed the face recognition abilities of a large group of students, and reported a prevalence rate of 2-2.5%. That is, as many as one in 50 people may suffer from developmental prosopagnosia. If this figure is correct, there may be 1.5 million prosopagnosics in the UK alone. Even if this is an overestimation, a prevalence of just 1% would indicate that 600 000 people suffer from the disorder.

However,งานน้อยมีผลในการประมาณการอย่างเป็นทางการของความชุกของการ prosopagnosia . ผลการศึกษาล่าสุดที่จัดทำในเยอรมัน สำรวจใบหน้าได้รับการยอมรับความสามารถของกลุ่มใหญ่ของนักเรียน และรายงานว่าอัตราความชุกของ 2 % นั่นคือ คนเป็นจำนวนมากเป็นหนึ่งใน 50 อาจประสบจากการ prosopagnosia . ถ้ารูปนี้ถูกต้อง อาจจะมี 15 million prosopagnosics in the UK alone. Even if this is an overestimation, a prevalence of just 1% would indicate that 600 000 people suffer from the disorder.
