Happy birthday, Hoosiers!
IndianaBets.com took a break from Indiana sports betting to see in which months the most babies are born in the Hoosier State. We used the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Natality Information from 2007 to 2022 to find the most popular birth months of each state over that period.
Here are the top three months for Indiana:
The three most popular birth months for Indiana are: August (119,626), July (117,915) and September (115,648).
Three of Indiana’s four border neighbors have the same top three birth months: Illinois - August (222,619), July (222,593), and Sept. (210,746); Kentucky - August (80,1118), July (78,720), and Sept. (77,304); Ohio - August (198,317), July (195,947), and Sept. 190,335).
One neighbor, Michigan, has a different order of its top three. The Michigan months are July (161,466), August (160,860) and May (155,517).
The top five states all share August as their top month. California ranks No. 1 (698,372), followed by Texas (562,892), New York (330,342), Illinois (222,619) and Pennsylvania (200,892).
Out of all 50 states, August ranks first with 36 states, July comes in second with 12, September has one (Hawaii - 25,065) and May has the other (Wyoming - 10,415).n addition to staying on top of Indiana sports betting apps, IndianaBets.com offers readers of broader interest such as this.
