Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Justina has been most common in New York (2.5×), California (1.8×), and Pennsylvania (1.7×), and least common in Tennessee (0.2×).

7,445 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.
