Quick answers

How many babies are born on November 13?

About 10,493 a year in the United States. It was at its most common in 1979, when 10,451 babies were born and it ranked #66 of 365; at its rarest in 2016, with 7,028 births at #353.

Is November 13 a common birthday?

In the United States, November 13 is the 53rd rarest of 366 dates, with about 10,493 births a year. That puts it on the rarer side of the calendar.

What is the rarest November birthday?

In the United States, November 26: the 7th rarest of all 366 dates, with about 9,615 births a year. The most common November birthday is November 1, the 102nd most common of the year.

How precise is the ranking?

In the middle of the calendar it is not exact. 60 other dates are within 1% of November 13's count, spread from #276 to #336, 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 November 13 rarer in other countries?

In some. It is rarer in 8 of the 26 other countries we hold daily records for. It is at its rarest in Switzerland, at #342 of 366, and at its most common in Costa Rica, at #50.
