Why do some states have so few people who were actually born there?
In this video, we break down the 10 U.S. states with the lowest resident retention rates, using Census birthplace data to identify the places where native-born residents make up the smallest share of the population. These are the states where transplants, retirees, remote workers, military families, job seekers, and newcomers have completely reshaped the population.
This is the other side of American migration. Some states are “sticky,” where people are born, raised, and stay for life. Others are revolving doors, where millions move in, locals move out, and the state starts to feel like it belongs to people who just got there.
We look at states like Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Delaware, Alaska, Idaho, and Oregon to understand why so many residents were born somewhere else. Is it opportunity? Retirement migration? High housing costs pushing locals out? Military movement? Lifestyle migration? Or are these states simply becoming transplant magnets?
This video explores domestic migration, Census state-of-birth data, low retention rates, population churn, moving trends, housing pressure, and the growing divide between locals and newcomers in America’s fastest-changing states.
