Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lupita has been most common in Arizona (6.8×), New Mexico (4.6×), and California (4.5×), and least common in New York (0.1×).

4,166 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.
