Is June 6 a common 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. 76 other dates are within 1% of June 6's count, spread from #130 to #206, 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.
