Ohio is a large populous state that was the 5th state after the original 13 to be admitted to the union. There is also luck or happen stance involved. The Civil War temporaily took the South out of consideration for the presidency. Three of the Ohio presidents , Grant, Hayes and Garfield were union officers and held office right after the War. It has been almost 100 years since the last Ohioian, Harding, was President.

What is the percentage of US presidents were from Ohio?

I get 6/43 = 13.95 % of US presidents from Ohio, Although Obama is often called the 44th president, there have only been 43 different presidents. I did not count Grant and B, Harrison as being from Ohio since they were not from Ohio when they were elected even though they were born there. I did count W.H. Harrison who was born in Virginia but was living in Ohio when he was elected. So,the six presidents "from" Ohio were W.H.Harrison, Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft and Harding.

Virginia wins this contest with 8; Ohio is a close second with 7.

As for Ohio, Grant did not live in Ohio after he left for college and Benjamin Harrison left Ohio when was 21 .
