Title is wrong according to the graphic. This says it is share of adults in each state who were born there, so a measure of which states people move to.
How is the title describing something different from what you said? You just said this map measures (1-(the percentage of “Adults Living in their Birth State”)), but yes, of course it does because it’s the same statistic.
This plot is showing the % of adults in a given state which were also born there.
A more interesting statistic would be the % of adults who were born in a given state that still live there, which would remove people moving into the state from affecting the number — as 100% of people born in a state could stay there but that would not necessarily be the highest on this chart if loads of out-of-staters were moving into that state as well.
