Abstract: We describe a database consisting of prime level weight 2 newforms with (i) level less than 1 million; or (ii) level less than 2 million and rationality field of degree $dle6$. We use this to study the distribution of degrees and rationality fields of weight 2 newforms. In particular, we give heuristic upper bounds on how often degree $d$ rationality fields occur for squarefree levels, and predict finiteness if $dge7$. When $d=2$, we make predictions about how frequently specific quadratic fields occur, prove lower bounds, and conjecture that $mathbbQ(sqrt5)$ is the most common quadratic rationality field. We also discuss how often non-conjugate degree $d$ newforms occur in the same level, distributions of Atkin-Lehner signs, and Lang-Trotter-type questions.
