I think some of the numbers are skewed because of induced births. Hospitals won’t schedule an induced birth on Christmas day, if they can help it.
Ah yeah - I found myself staring at the 2nd half of December a bit puzzled, but you’re absolutely on to it.
are there absolute numbers? it would be interesting to know how big is the deviation.
I’m guessing this data is from one hemisphere (the northern?)
My guess is just the US, because of the low birth rate on 4th of July.
People really working hard to have kids on Valentine’s day.
I would have thought Feb 29 would be an extra-dark level of blue
People party around end of year. Babies get born 9 months later.
I spent far too long looking at this graph thinking that blue was male and pink was female and drawing the wrong conclusions
Same here. I wondered how that was even possible before discovering my Lemmy client had cropped out the legend. Not a fan of this coloring scheme, especially having white as the median value.

Looks off. Isn’t it more the days of conception rather birthday? It’s rather lucky that they are so many babies on feb14, exactly on Valentine days
