| Native Population | ||||||||
| The attitude of our new state's current inhabitants toward new-comers may realistically impact our effectiveness there. Thus, the FSP may be more acceptable to the residents of states in which a higher percentage of persons are not native to that state. For instance, Maine seems to have quite a reputation of being suspicious of those who are "from away." This is not really surprising when you consider that, as of 1990, 70.6% of Maine's population was native-born. FSP Candidate States Ranked by % of Those Born In-State: 38.1% Alaska (35.6% in 1990) 42.5% Wyoming (43.4% in 1990) 43.3% New Hampshire (45.8% in 1990) 47.2% Idaho (52.1% in 1990) 48.3% Delaware (51.9% in 1990) 54.3% Vermont (59.0% in 1990) 56.1% Montana (60.0% in 1990) 67.3% Maine (70.6% in 1990) 68.1% South Dakota (71.0% in1990) 72.5% North Dakota (74.3% in 1990) |
