- The genus number of a number field is a fundamental invariant which measures the contribution of ramification to its ideal class group. In this paper, we establish the statistics for the genus number for $S_3\times C_q$-fields for $q\neq 3$ a prime number, $D_4$-fields and pure quartic fields. We also obtain precise results on the average and higher moments of the genus distribution within the family of $S_3\times C_q$-fields. Finally, based on heuristics, we formulate a conjecture identifying families for which one should expect the genus density to be zero, i.e., only a density zero subset of fields in the family attains any fixed genus number.
