I wonder if the geography of major cities near state borders skews this at all.

A lot of people in New Mexico were born in Texas simply because El Paso is the nearest major city for a large swath of the state; so they'll be born at a hospital in Texas, then immediately go to New Mexico and never actually live in Texas. I'd imagine the same phenomenon might happen in the DC area for VA/MD/DC people.

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.

Social Security Administration might have that info somewhere.

Most people don't realize that the first three digits of your SSN correspond to where your card was issued to you; for most native-born people, that's the state they were born in.
