Where Blanca is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Blanca has been most common in Texas (4.7×), California (3.6×), and Arizona (2.9×), and least common in Michigan (0.04×).

22,673 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.
