TBF ... most of Virginia's presidents were clustered (4 of the 1st 5) during a time when there were a lot fewer states and Virginia was one of the 3 or 4 most populous. Wilson was the most recent, and he wasn't living here when he was elected.

Atlas and Wikipedia both list Wilson's home state as New Jersey.

I also find it kind of strange that we've never had a president from Arizona despite the fact that at least three candidates have ran and two of them were nominated.

Well sure, but both of those 2 were nominated in years where the political winds were blowing against them and their party.
