Musings on Dying at Home

Today I learned that If you are born in Wyoming, you probably won’t die there. People born in Wyoming are the most likely to move out of their native state. The states with the largest diaspora are:

1. Wyoming – 58% left
2. North Dakota – 53% left
3. Alaska – 50% left
4. South Dakota – 47% left
5. West Virginia – 45% left
6. Montana – 45% left
7. Kansas – 43% left
8. Rhode Island – 43% left
9. Nebraska – 42% left
10. Idaho – 41% left

The state with the fewest natives leaving:

1. Texas – 18% left

They must know something I don’t know.

The New York Times has some very interesting interactive graphs with this information.
