What’s born in New York stays in New York.
The Empire State placed second in a new Census Bureau survey that shows which states managed to keep their natives from leaving home.
Of all US-born Americans, about two thirds – 67.4 percent – live in the state they were born in.
But for New York, the figure is 82.1 percent, just behind Louisiana’s nation-leading 82.2 percent. New Jersey was below the national average, at 65.4 percent.
The findings released today were part of the US Census Bureau’s annual American Community Survey, which charts how the population stands in terms of social, economic and housing characteristics.
