Final Birthplace Breakdown (320 artist entries)
Most Bay Area artists weren’t born here, only a third of the ~320 artists on the wiki are California-native, meaning roughly two-thirds migrated from elsewhere in the US or abroad. This aligns with the Bay Area’s broader identity as a place people move to, not necessarily grow up in.
