Where Ria is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Ria has been most common in New Jersey (4.5×), California (3.2×), and New York (1.6×), and least common in Ohio (0.34×).

2,184 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.
