Where Amare is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Amare has been most common in Arizona (3.4×), Maryland (2.4×), and Georgia (2.4×), and least common in Wisconsin (0.33×).
5,111 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
