As far as I know the last four digits of the social security number the only true random numbers given. My question is aren't the first three vaguely tied to your location and aren't the middle two tied to what time of the year you were born?

The first three digits of your Social Security number ( SSN ) are not tied to any specific location and are used solely for sorting administrative purposes. The middle two digits of your SSN ( also known as the control number ) are not used to determine any information about you. The Social Security Administration issues your SSN based on the date you were born, but the middle two digits do not specifically correspond to your birthday. Instead, the middle two digits represent the year your SSN was issued.
