Interesting graph, but I find it strange there are these really unpopular numbers like 0738. I can't see the reason why it would be significantly less popular than similar ones, i.e. 0739 or 0758

I think people are biased towards PINs with only cardinal directions + 45 degree diagonals - or in other words the angles traced out by the digits should always be a 45 degree multiple.
