Not every grad, just a statistically significant percentage.
I think some universities are, by nature regional in that there grads are more likely to stay in the region because their students are more likely to come from that area. Drake is a high quality school, but I'd bet a higher percentage of their students can get to Mom and Dad within a 3 hour drive than Notre Dame, UCLA, Duke, Standford, etc.
California state schools are different due to their hierarchical nature. Cal Berkley has far more stringent entrance requirements than Fullerton, for example.
