Where Kaci is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kaci has been most common in Oklahoma (4×), Louisiana (3.2×), and Texas (2.6×), and least common in New York (0.24×).

7,225 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.
