Where Rubi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rubi has been most common in Arizona (3.9×), California (3.7×), and Texas (3.2×), and least common in Michigan (0.11×).

7,325 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.
