A transformation invisible at the county level. Burlington's born-in-state share fell 11 points despite nearly flat immigration. A signal of domestic in-migration displacing long-term residents rather than international arrival. Across West Virginia's cities, immigration remains near zero while the born-in-state share quietly erodes. A different kind of departure, with no arrival to follow. Ohio's cities show the most uniform pattern in the study: modest foreign-born growth, native-born stability, and little of the sharp divergence visible further east. Born In-State Share Δpp 2010–2024
