State of residence by state of birth

From 2000...

Good site. I made a map of percent born in state compared with the national average.

Blue = above average
Red = below average

NC is now Red.

In 2008? Where are you getting that data from?

Kansas is really surprising. All of that is KC overspill?

Kansas was very close (0.5%) from the national average.

Kansas more than Texas, really?

More? Red indicates a low percentage of residents who were born in-state.

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.

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.

Good list. Surprised to see rural states at the bottom. I would have thought states with large area and low population would have few people moving out.

I made a map (below) of states having a higher first column being blue and states with a higher second column being red. Looks very regionally based.
