Bostonians I think if anything underestimate the cities importance. Like the Summer Games were laughed out of town on the idea a city the size of Boston could not host it, when like Melbourne did.
I think being so close to Montreal, Toronto, NYC, and Philly gives the idea. Boston is a mid sized city when it’s really not. While SF is really far far any decent sized metro other than maybe LA so it sees itself as a “big city”.
All 3 are also in the running to host a 2026 World Cup game.
That said, SF is more of a national magnet, which is obviously partly related to the even bigger tech industry there, but also because of the weather and scenery (nobody from, say, Kansas will pack up and move to Boston on a whim and "hope things work out", ha). People move to Boston for work, or because they're already from New England and want to move to a big city. Which feels an awful lot like Philly to me.
Just took a look at the place of birth for persons with at least a Bachelor's degree who have not been enrolled in school within the past 3 months. These are the Top 10 states for each area.

Explain NJ being 23,487 when almost 1.8 million New Jerseyans are from the Philly metro? And 8,000 for NH in Boston when almost 300,000 NH residents live in Metro Boston

This is only people with college degrees who are in the civilian labor force, for one. And top of that, it's limited to just the rough core of the metro areas.
If you look at total population, over 1 million Philadelphia residents were born in PA. Only about 55K were born in NJ. There are almost as many Philadelphians who were born in Puerto Rico (52K).

You also have to keep in mind that where you are born is not necessarily where you grew up. In DC, for example, there are only about 40K residents who were born in the state of Maryland, but a lot of "Marylanders" who live in DC were actually born in the District. There's not necessarily going to be a one-to-one match with in-migration from the suburbs for this reason.
Around 64K Manhattan residents were born in Jersey. There are more than 100K Manhattanites who were born in the Dominican Republic.
But that could be shaky too, generally I see Asian poverty at around 30% in Boston and higher than Latinos.
29% of Asians in Boston live in poverty, more than double the rate for Whites in Boston. 40% of Asians in Boston are Limited English Proficient. 31% of Chinese adults in Boston have less than a high school diploma. 1 out of 4 Quincy residents are Asian and 1 out of 3 Quincy Public School students are Asian

So what you’re saying if you’re “From” Salem NH but was born at Lawrence General Hospital your a Massachusetts person?
