If that were true, there'd only be 100,000 unique social security numbers in California. I think their population is a bit more than that

I think they changed it after a certain point so it be harder to guess vaild SSNs that are vaild. So younger people's numbers, born after June 2011, have totally randomized numbers.

kibble 🔜 FTO? :
It was like that until 2011. The first 3 are the state the next two are the region and the last 4 count up

The Romania one is worse: first number is sex, then you have your birthday in it as 6 numbers, next 2 numbers are the regional code and only the last 4 are random.

The first three weren’t assigned as geographic locations after 2011

nope, mine are different than my brothers. 2005 and 2007, same state but not the same starting numbers

This only applies to people born pre June 2011. July 2011 onwards is fully random. also for the pre June 2011 numbers it's a range per state

Grimm Blue :
they used to just be in order so if you had twins one's would be like xxx-xx-xx01 and the second born twin would be xxx-xx-xx02

they changed btw its only for people who had it before 2011

used to be true before identity theft became a huge problem. now its completely randomized. pre 2011 it did dictate the state or county you were born but after 2011 all those rules changed to prevent identity theft.

Ashlyn (Taylor's Version) :
There's also the overflow groupings due to rapid increase of population in that specific state at that time so states were then given a different range for the overflow people.

Tony :
fun fact, before the 2000s thie was indeed the case, and the last 4 would just count up in sequence so you couls just subtract one and that person was probably born in the same state as you on the same day

Dan :
So, you're saying there has to be less than 1,000,000 people per state? Otherwise, states would need multiple sets of numbers for the first 3

me and one of my best friends were born within 14 hours of each other and only about 10 miles away from each other in the same city and our ssn only differ by the last digit
