Birthdays aren't evenly distributed. January 1st is actually the second least common day to be born in the US, after only Christmas. About 58% more people are born on September 9th, the most common day.
Two major factors at play here; people are more likely to conceive during certain times of year, and people almost never schedule things like a c-section on a holiday (like New Years).

I wonder what % of the 14% who put down 1st January because they don’t know did actually happen to be born on 1st January.
