Where Demetria is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Demetria has been most common in Mississippi (3.5×), Georgia (3.3×), and Tennessee (3.3×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.16×).

8,071 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.
