It's one of the only things we all have in common.
A date of birth.
The day we each entered the world and began our human journey.
A question which is often asked is which day of the year is the most common to have a birthday?
Now thanks to the good folk at the Australian Bureau of Statistics we can give you the answer!
We've trawled through their data and combined it all to find out the most popular birthday.
To be specific we took the data of the daily number of births over a 10 year period from 2007 to 2016 and then averaged each year out to determine the most and least popular birthdays.
It is hands down the most comprehensive data available.
So here's the low down.
The table below displays, in colour, the most common and least common birthdays using the total number of daily births from 2007 and 2016.
The colour range is from a dark green (representing the most common birthday) to a dark red (representing the least common birthday).
Can you spot the most and least common birthdays?
Scroll down for a more detailed explanation.
If not here they are:
The most common birthday in Australia is September 17th!
The least common birthday (you may have guessed it is) is Christmas Day, the 25th of December. If you are inclined to count leap years in the mix then the 29th February is the least common birthday, but only because they occur once every 4 years.
The line chart below shows average births, per day, per year (February 29th is normalised to show the average number of births per year, for each time it occurs in the ten year period).
The most common date of birth (September 17th) is roughly 9 months from Christmas / New Year period, meaning there's a lot of love around during the holiday season.
The least common days (or maybe the most unique?) are key holidays, namely New Years Day (1st January), Australia Day (26th January), Anzac Day (25th April), Christmas Day (25th December) and Boxing Day (26th December). It's evident both parents and doctors prefer to have these days off like the rest of the nation!

This was a present and my aunt loved it. Great delivery, easy to purchase and looked good.
Got this as a gift for my dad who is in his late 70s. He says he'll never use another cooler again; has even gone as far as saying he thought he bought smaller beers accidentally because he's been finishing them so fast 😂
Kept the family busy on Xmas day.
This is my second time buying these as a gift. Has been a hit both times. Highly recommend Brewquets
My son was very happy with his presents and prompt delivery 😁😁
A great gift & love the selection of beers!
Fantastic stocking stuffer for the son-in-law!
My mum purchased these for my girlfriend and myself for Christmas.
We enjoyed the craft beer on Christmas Day.

Loved our delivery. Beers were good. The two whisky puzzles haven’t been gifted yet. That’ll be at the end of the month. Great idea for a stocking stuffer. Would definitely order again. Thanks
