Where Tresa is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tresa has been most common in Oklahoma (4.6×), Arkansas (3.6×), and Kentucky (3×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.37×).

2,271 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.
