Counting modular forms by rationality field

We investigate 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 $d \ge 7$. When $d=2$, we make predictions about how frequently specific quadratic fields occur, prove lower bounds, and conjecture that $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 5)$ is the most common quadratic rationality field.
