Abstract: Following both Ernvall-Mets"{a}nkyl"{a} and Ellenberg-Jain-Venkatesh, we study the density of the number of zeroes (i.e. the cyclotomic $lambda$-invariant) for the $p$-adic zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet character $chi$ of any order. We are interested in two cases: (i) the character $chi$ is fixed and the prime $p$ varies, and (ii) $extord(chi)$ and the prime $p$ are both fixed but $chi$ is allowed to vary. We predict distributions for these $lambda$-invariants using $p$-adic random matrix theory and provide numerical evidence for these predictions. We also study the proportion of $chi$-regular primes, which depends on how $p$ splits inside $mathbbQ(chi)$. Finally in an extensive Appendix, we tabulate the values of the $lambda$-invariant for every character $chi$ of conductor $leq1000$ and for odd primes $p$ of small size.
