Where Tricia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tricia has been most common in Wisconsin (2×), Hawaii (1.8×), and Iowa (1.8×), and least common in Mississippi (0.23×).

37,225 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.
