How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 60 other dates are within 1% of June 3's count, spread from #117 to #177, 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.
