Where Aryan is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aryan has been most common in New Jersey (3.5×), California (2.1×), and Virginia (1.9×), and least common in Indiana (0.26×).
6,931 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.
