We explore distribution questions for rational maps on the projective line \(\mathbb {P}^1\) over \(\mathbb {Q}\) within the framework of arithmetic dynamics, drawing analogies to elliptic curves. Specifically, we investigate counting problems for rational maps \(\phi \) of fixed degree \(d \ge 2\) with prescribed reduction properties. One of our main results establishes that with respect to the weak box densities in an earlier work of Poonen, a positive proportion of rational maps consist of those having globally minimal resultant. Additionally, for degree 2 rational maps, we perform explicit computations demonstrating that over \(32.7\%\) possess a squarefree, and hence minimal, resultant.
