Quick answers

Is April 24 a common birthday?

What is the rarest April birthday?

In the United States, April 1: the 15th rarest of all 366 dates, with about 10,016 births a year. The most common April birthday is April 4, the 177th most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 87 other dates are within 1% of April 24's count, spread from #226 to #313, so the position inside that group would shift with a different set of years. That band is the accurate answer; the rank is the simple one. At the ends — Christmas Day, New Year's Day — nothing is close.
