Questions

Quick answers

How many babies are born on June 22?

About 11,099 a year in the United States. It was at its most common in 2021, when 11,903 babies were born and it ranked #36 of 365; at its rarest in 1969, with 8,612 births at #339.

Is June 22 a common birthday?

In the United States, June 22 is the 109th most common of 366 dates, with about 11,099 births a year. That makes it an ordinary birthday: neither rare nor especially common.

What is the rarest June birthday?

In the United States, June 13: the 132nd rarest of all 366 dates, with about 10,687 births a year. The most common June birthday is June 28, the 73rd most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 25 other dates are within 1% of June 22's count, spread from #96 to #121, 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 June 22 rarer in other countries?

In some. It is rarer in 14 of the 26 other countries we hold daily records for. It is at its rarest in Costa Rica, at #283 of 366, and at its most common in Finland, at #48.
