Quick answers

How many babies are born on July 13?

About 11,121 a year in the United States. It was at its most common in 1983, when 11,037 babies were born and it ranked #31 of 365; at its rarest in 1975, with 7,399 births at #338.

Is July 13 a common birthday?

In the United States, July 13 is the 104th most common of 366 dates, with about 11,121 births a year. That makes it an ordinary birthday: neither rare nor especially common.

What is the rarest July birthday?

In the United States, July 4: the 4th rarest of all 366 dates, with about 8,692 births a year. The most common July birthday is July 7, the 5th most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 26 other dates are within 1% of July 13's count, spread from #92 to #118, 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.

Is July 13 rarer in other countries?

In some. It is rarer in 19 of the 26 other countries we hold daily records for. It is at its rarest in Costa Rica, at #331 of 366, and at its most common in France, at #21.
