Where Saundra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Saundra has been most common in District of Columbia (4.4×), Oklahoma (2.7×), and Ohio (2.5×), and least common in Minnesota (0.15×).

15,137 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.
