Where Bodie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Bodie has been most common in Utah (4×), Idaho (3.3×), and Nevada (3.2×), and least common in Louisiana (0.3×).

6,854 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.
