Number of U.S. presidents born in each state 1789-2021

21 of the 50 U.S. states have been the birthplace of U.S. presidents. Historically, Virginia has been the most common birthplace of U.S. presidents, with eight in total; although seven of these were born in the 1700s, and Woodrow Wilson is the most recent Virginian to have been elected president, in 1912. Similarly to Virginia, Ohio has produced seven U.S. presidents, although they were all born between 1822 and 1865, and all served as president between 1845 and 1923. Born in the USAFive presidents, including the incumbent President Donald Trump, were born in New York; the first of which, Martin Van Buren, also has the distinction of being the first president born in the independent United States. Eight of the first nine presidents, all born in Massachusetts, South Carolina or Virginia, were born as British subjects when these states were still part of the Thirteen Colonies. Since then, no other presidents were born in areas that had not yet been admitted into the United States, and no U.S. presidents were ever born in the Confederate States of America, a U.S. territory or any foreign country. The U.S. Constitution includes the "natural-born-citizen clause", which is generally understood to mean that only those born in the U.S. may be elected to the office of president or vice president; however, the exact meaning of the phrase "natural-born-citizen" has never been finally clarified and remains open to interpretation.Increasing varietyWith President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, he became just the second president to have been born in Pennsylvania (the other being James Buchanan). Today, there have been 13 states which were the birthplace of just one president, and, apart from Biden, Donald Trump and George H. W. Bush, seven of the most recent ten presidents were born in these states. Barack Obama is the only U.S. president not to have been born on the U.S. mainland, as he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1961. There are 29 states, along with the District of Columbia, that are yet to produce a U.S. president.

在五十个美国州中，有二十一州曾是美国总统的出生地。历史上，弗吉尼亚州是美国总统最常见的出生地，共计八位；尽管其中七位出生于18世纪，而伍德罗·威尔逊是最后一位出生于弗吉尼亚州的总统，他在1912年当选。与弗吉尼亚州相似，俄亥俄州也孕育了七位美国总统，尽管他们都出生于1822年至1865年之间，且都在1845年至1923年期间担任过总统。五位总统，包括现任总统唐纳德·特朗普，出生于纽约；其中，马丁·范布伦是第一位出生于独立美利坚合众国的总统。在最初的九位总统中，共有八位出生于马萨诸塞州、南卡罗来纳州或弗吉尼亚州，当他们所在州仍然是十三殖民地的一部分时，他们都作为英国臣民出生。自那时起，没有其他总统出生在尚未加入美国的地区，而且美国总统也从未在美利坚联盟国、美国领土或任何外国出生。美国宪法中包含的“出生公民权条款”通常被理解为只有在美国出生的人才有资格被选为总统或副总统；然而，“出生公民权”的确切含义从未得到最终明确，且其解释仍然开放。随着乔·拜登总统在2020年选举中的胜利，他成为继詹姆斯·布坎南之后第二位出生于宾夕法尼亚州的总统。如今，有13个州曾是单位美国总统的出生地，除了拜登、特朗普和乔治·H·W·布什之外，近十位总统中有七位出生在这些州。巴拉克·奥巴马是唯一一位未出生在美国本土的美国总统，他在1961年出生于夏威夷檀香山。至今，还有29个州以及哥伦比亚特区尚未诞生美国总统。
