North Carolinians - Where we were born (2015, home)

[michgc]

I know this link has been floating around quite a bit, but I just saw it again and thought it would be fun to categorize where we were born. Categories used are the ones from the NY Times and it was calculated using both the map and the timeline from this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/16/up...8&kwp_1=123465.
As of 2012, North Carolinians were born:

South
58% in North Carolina
3% in Virginia
2% in South Carolina
2% in Florida
1% in Georgia
1% in Texas
3% in the rest of the South
Total born in the South = ~70%

Northeast
4% in New York
2% in New Jersey
2% in Pennsylvania
4% in the rest of the Northeast
Total born in the Northeast = ~12%

Outside the US
9% born outside the US
Total born outside the US = 9%

Midwest
2% in Ohio
1% in Michigan
3% in the rest of the Midwest
Total born in the Midwest = ~6%

West
1% in California
2% in the rest of the West
Total born in the West = ~3%

Well I was born in NC, as was the spouse, as were our two kids, as were 3 of our 4 parents. My mom was born in Virginia.

We're a bit more geographically diverse. ;-) For my household, we have the following:

1 born in Pennsylvania
1 born in "Rest of the Northeast"
2 born in Virginia
1 born outside the US

Add two more "born in NC" to the 58%. We moved back to our home state of NC at the beginning of 2013, so we weren't in that count.

My household of 4 is NC born & raised, my parents, all the grandparents, great-grandparents....you'd probably have to go back at least 2 more generations to find those born in VA, and another generation or so to find some foreign born.

Born and raised in NC

Both sides of my family settled here in the early to mid -1700s.

I have lived elsewhere and enjoyed it . . .but in the end, NC is home.

Born and raised in NC. Descended from a line of Germans who originally settled in Northern VA in the 1600's and migrated to NC in 1700's. Also have lines of Quakers in both Perquimmins and Back Creek.
