Where Patrice is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Patrice has been most common in District of Columbia (4.8×), Louisiana (2.1×), and Maryland (1.7×), and least common in Kentucky (0.22×).

31,075 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.
