The Most Common Birthdays in the World
September birthdays tend to be the most common.
September has been the common birthday month for the last two decades in the United States with February being the least typical birth month. In 2006, researchers from Harvard University examined the birth rates from 1973 to 1999 and concluded that many people are usually born on September 16. A more recent report by Matt Stiles confirmed that September 9 is the most common birthday date. Stiles developed a visualization based on information compiled on all the births from 1994-2014. The data was obtained from the National-Center for Health Statistics. According to the data, 9 out of the top-10 birthday dates are in September which means that they were conceived from December 17 to December 28.
