Where people who lived in each state in 2012 were born Each shape represents where the people living in a state were born. Within a state, larger shapes mean a group makes up a larger share of the population.
On Thursday, we published a series of interactive charts

show striking patterns for many states: You can trace the rise of
migrant and immigrant populations all along the Southwest, particularly
in Texas and Arizona; the influx of New Yorkers and other
Northeasterners into Florida starting in the 1970s; and the growth in
the Southern share of the Illinois population during the Great
Migration.

1900, 95 percent of the people living in the Carolinas were born there,
with similarly high numbers all through the Southeast. More than a

fascinating reading. As a follow-up, here is the big picture: a map
showing all of the states at a given time.
