Where Marin is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Marin has been most common in Colorado (3.2×), Minnesota (2.6×), and California (1.9×), and least common in Maryland (0.75×).

3,859 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.
