What Is The US’s Most Common Birthday?

What Is The US’s Most Common Birthday?

I just had a birthday earlier this week on April 3,  and noticed I shared it with quite a bit of my Facebook friends.

What Is The US's Most Common Birthday?

But then today, when doing my usual morning Facebook birthday greetings, I noticed I had 10 friends celebrating their birthday today, April 7th.

It got me to thinking of April was the most common birthday month.  Then I got to wondering, what was happening in our parents lives 9 months prior to that.  For us April babies, that brings us back to July.  The hottest summer month where our young parents were probably having the time of their lives!

So I have been thinking April must be the most common birthday month.

It isn’t.  In fact April is not even in the top 10!

So What Is The Most Common Birth Month?

Gathered from birth data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Social Security Administration, here is what we learned.

  1. August
  2. July
  3. September
  4. October
  5. May
  6. December
  7. March
  8. June
  9. January
  10. November
  11. April

While August leads the way as the most common birth month, the most common birthday is actually in the following month!

So What Is The Most Common Birthday?

September 9th!  In second and third place are Sept. 19 and 12.  So why September?  Counting back 9 months from there brings us to the holiday season!  The most common period of time for engagements is between Thanksgiving and Christmas!  Of course during that time there is lots of love and celebration in the air, so that naturally leads to a little romance!

…and the least common birthdays are the big holidays of July 4, December 24th, January 1st and December 25th.

Who has time on those days to have a baby!

Happy Birthday!  If you would like to receive a greeting from WJBR on your special day, sign up for the WJBR INSIDERS CLUB! 

15 Stroller Friendly Walking Paths in Northern Delaware

If you’re a new mother or father, or recently had a baby, you’re probably wanting to get out of the house and get some fresh air. But you’ll have to bring that stroller too! People on Reddit have been wondering, what are the best paths to take with a stroller for exercise? So we’ve compiled some of the stroller-friendly walking paths in Northern Delaware that are perfect for parents who enjoy exercising outdoors.

  • Bellevue State Park

    Bellevue State Park offers a walking and biking loop on gravel. The gravel is paved enough to allow your stroller to access it. As well as the gravel loop that’s very large, there is a smaller loop around the main pond. Bellevue also has paved cement sections near the tennis courts and horse farm.

    The Riverfront is great for walking and is super stroller friendly. The walkway is along the water which offers beautiful scenery as you stroll. The complete pathway is paved with smooth, level cement.

    Within the Brandywine Town Center in Wilmington, just off of Naamans Road is a large pond with two fountains. Red Robin can be spotted, bordering the pond. Around this pond is a large paved loop fit for strollers and walkers.

  • Brandywine Town Center 2

    There is also another paved loop near the Regal Movie Theater in Brandywine Town Center. Its directly opposite the movie theater and has a sidewalk loop. The path is just larger than a sidewalk.

    Glasgow Park has a 2.6 mile paved loop which is excellent for strollers and walkers. Many people bring their dogs and play in the fields here.

    Since the University of Delaware has so many students walking to class, it makes a great spot to spend some time walking with your stroller. The walkways are paved and very large to accommodate large volumes of crowds.
