Where Robin is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Robin has been most common in District of Columbia (2×), Delaware (1.7×), and Rhode Island (1.6×), and least common in Utah (0.48×).
331,102 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.
