Where Demi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Demi has been most common in Louisiana (4.9×), District of Columbia (2.2×), and Florida (2.2×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.17×).

13,009 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.
