Sources, method and limits

Source for 1995: CDC/NCHS daily births for the United States, as compiled by FiveThirtyEight (CC BY 4.0). Years before 2000 come from the CDC/NCHS file; 2000 onward from the SSA file, so a comparison across that line is also a change of source. Weekday is taken from the record’s calendar date. Ranks within a year compare single days.

Every figure above comes from the administrative records named here, at the granularity those records publish: a day, a month or a year. Coverage and definitions differ between countries and eras, so two sources are combined only where their documentation states the windows are separate, and the page where that happens says so.

Full method, leap-day treatment and definitions.
