Ever wondered how many people share the same birthday as you? Let's dive into the fascinating world of birthdays.
What's the rarest month to be born in? Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) reveals that February takes the crown as the rarest birth month, making Aquarius the rarest zodiac sign. This isn't surprising, considering February is the shortest month of the year, even with a leap year. Another contributing factor is that conception tends to happen less frequently in May when the weather is warmer and days are longer.
What are the rarest birthdays? While February babies hold a special status, the rarest birthdays don't fall in that month. Instead, they often coincide with major holidays, such as Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Christmas Eve. The following dates are the rarest birthdays in the U.S., along with the average number of births on each day annually:
- December 25 (6,574 births)
- January 1 (7,792 births)
- December 24 (8,069 births)
- July 4 (8,796 births)
- January 2 (9,307 births)
- December 26 (9,543 births)
- November 27 (9,718 births)
- November 23 (9,883 births)
- November 25 (9,954 births)
- October 31 (9,978 births)
What's the most common birth month? August, known for long sunny days and back-to-school excitement, takes the title as the most common birth month. CDC data indicates that July, August, September, and October are the most popular birth months in the U.S., with the colder, cozier winter months being the preferred time for conception.
What are the most common birthdays? While having a rare birthday is cool, there's something special about celebrating alongside many others. August might be the most common birth month, but September dominates when it comes to the most common birthdays. If you're a Virgo, get those birthday quotes ready, because these dates see the highest average yearly births:
- September 9 (12,301 births)
- September 19 (12,229 births)
- September 12 (12,224 births)
- September 17 (12,148 births)
- September 10 (12,144 births)
- July 7 (12,108 births)
- September 20 (12,107 births)
- September 15 (12,087 births)
- September 16 (12,072 births)
- September 18 (12,055 births)
