And if we look again at your table but this time for Alaska, the live births are 7502 and to non-resident, 568. If we look at Table 2-1 from the 1961 Vital Records there is additional information. The total births is still 7502 but non-resident births is broken into intra-state residents (558) and out-of-state residents (10).
So for Alaska only 10 women made the trip from the lower 48 states up to Alaska to have their babies. Hawaii only had 20 such births.
Yes, DL the long distance from the mainland to the Hawaiian islands is why the non-resident births in Hawaii are so low.
That is certainly a partial explanation, but it is not necessarily a total explanation. Apart from that, I like the fact I seem to make you go to so much trouble to refute a casual point.
This seemingly means a lot more to you than it does to me. :)
