Where Ever is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Ever has been most common in Texas (3.7×), California (2.9×), and Colorado (2.7×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.2×).

3,963 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.
