This isn’t good. Older states, and those with higher populations, have seem more births. Not a meaningful statistic.

Do per-capita births for the duration of statehood, or percentage of current residents who were born in the state. Those tell us something.

Per capita for duration is pointless. It will just show the same trend (older states higher, since a larger percentage of birth occurred when birth rates were high).
