Not Wyoming (last in US). Just 41% of native Wyomingites have their baby in Wyoming. Nearby, Nevada, Montana, and the Dakotas also have relatively low percentages of women born there who stick around to give birth. On the flip side, states in the South and along the Rust Belt are more likely to retain new moms. Texas tops the list.
