Where Katrina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Katrina has been most common in Alaska (2.7×), District of Columbia (1.9×), and Oregon (1.6×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.51×).

98,389 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.
