On a related note, are there any statistics as to the breakdown of those born in the US by state (in other words, how many Americans were born in New York, California, Texas, etc)?
Born in the US or born in a particular state?
In fact the maps reveal both of those informations.
I wanted to know the former, and I didn't see that listed anywhere. I would imagine that more Americans were born in California than any other state, although I'd also guess that New York would be very high as well (probably second to California). To make it more clear, I'd like to know the number of Americans by state of birth. According to the 2010 Census, about 270 million Americans are native born. I'd like to see that number broken down by state of birth.
This is the same question I posed in this thread:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=190254.0And using migration data from 2009, my best guesses on the top 5 states by place of birth were:
1) CA
2) NY
3) TX
4) IL
5) PA
I could have gone farther, and tried to reconstruct it for all 50 states, but I wasn't that motivated.
