Quick answers

Is February 10 a common birthday?

What is the rarest February birthday?

In the United States, February 29: the 14th rarest of all 366 dates, with about 9,906 births on each February 29. The most common February birthday is February 14, the 94th most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 91 other dates are within 1% of February 10's count, spread from #201 to #292, 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.
