Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Brock has been most common in Utah (4.8×), Idaho (3.8×), and North Dakota (3.1×), and least common in New Jersey (0.14×).

40,503 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.
