Where Are Americans Born? An Analysis of U.S. Census Data from 1850 – 2020
With the recent shift to remote work and the precipitous increases in the cost of living in many areas of the United States, it seems like more Americans are on the move than ever before. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated 7,398,337 Americans moved to a different state in 2019 alone.
However, are these movement patterns unusual? Working with 1Point21 Interactive, we examined 170 years of U.S. Census data to visualize the history of where Americans are born.
In 2020, 58 percent of Americans lived in the state that they were born in, down from 66 percent in 1850 and the peak of 70 percent in 1940. Only 28 percent were born in a different state and only 14 percent of residents were born in another country.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
