I grew up in southern California and went to high school with a relatively large Mormon population. During senior year I became friends with a Mormon girl whom I’d known from afar all four years of high school, because she was from a prominent family of 13 children. -- http://archive.is/QUXKX (originally Huffpo)
Ok, this is weird and the rest of the article is about something not really relevant but here's a case of a prominent Mormon family with 13 children living in Southern California. It's not enough to say there's a trend, but it could be something.
Oh, I really believe there is a trend alright. It is all about finding more of them though. They were probably hard to find already since we know how long the Turpins were flying under the radar. Now, they are all surely battening down the hatches even more so. Also, I have found a couple others that had 5 children and 7 children that were connected to Satanic practices or church backgrounds. They are listed in the thread. The FLDS has a foothold I believe in this area and others in Cali. Searching for Mormons and FLDS in So. Cal. would be a good way to go. I will look at your link.
The number 13 is very prominent in Mormonism, as you'd expect given their ties to Freemasons. Here's another FLDS family with 14 children. Maybe one of them didn't count for some reason yet unknown:
An obscure Mormon religious text has emerged as one of the central tenets influencing the anti-government ideology of Cliven Bundy, a militiaman accused of leading an armed standoff against federal agents near a ranch outside Las Vegas in 2014.
The Bundy family, which includes Cliven and his 14 children, is deeply influenced by its Mormon faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Book of Mormon. But researchers at the Southern Poverty Law Center have noted that the family and its supporters also follow a text called The Nay Book, allegedly compiled by Bundy’s friend and fellow rancher Keith Allen Nay, who died in 1997.

Hmm, here's another reference to a similar thing with a fundamentalist Mormon polygamist group that have 13 children:
