I work with a bunch of highly skilled immigrants. They live in Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, and a bunch of other places. Now that remote work is prevalent, people are moving to all sorts of places.

There's also a lot of great wine and delicious pizza in TX, KY, and CO, but I bet if I throw a dart in the dark 9 times out of 10 I'm going to land on a name from CA or NY.

The data is publicly available:

But if you don't want to click, you'll find the highest share of H1B per capita in Texas, namely College Station.
