Quick answers

Is March 25 a common birthday?

In the United States, March 25 is the 87th rarest of 366 dates, with about 10,578 births a year. That puts it on the rarer side of the calendar.

In the United States, March 13: the 22nd rarest of all 366 dates, with about 10,340 births a year. The most common March birthday is March 1, the 147th most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 85 other dates are within 1% of March 25's count, spread from #238 to #323, 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.
