State of residence by state of birth

I would have expected both Carolinas, Arkansas, and Texas to be red.  Pre-Katrina, the same with Louisiana.

Perhaps NC and TX, but LA in fact was the top state in residents born in-state.

What about foreign born pop.?

That is lumped with those born out-of-state.

Indeed, the foreign born were born out of state.

What's even more interesting is following who went where.
Pretty vast numbers of southern-born people in the North still... especially Carolinians in New York and most of all Mississippians in Illinois. These of course are the Black elderly. Lots of Appalachian immigration to Florida alongside the better known Northeastern immigration. Minneapolis' role as the receptacle of the Dakotas' (and even Montana's) young liberals. Etc.

This is a different way to look at the data,  The first column is the percentage of persons born in the State who resided in the State in 2000 (excluding persons no longer living in the 50 States and DC).  The second column is that shown in the map, which is the percentage of persons resident in the State in 2000, who were born in the State.

Thanks, I'd thought about calculating that table myself.
Although for strict comparison values, shouldn't we exclude those born abroad from the second figure?
