Where Audra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Audra has been most common in West Virginia (2.6×), Oklahoma (2.2×), and Arkansas (2×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.33×).

20,666 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.
