The above is about Presidential candidates, not VP, but in a related point, Harris is the first on a Democratic ticket from west of Texas.

I would assume the list is skewed, since it was very hard to field a presidential candidate from Colorado in 1856...

Yeah indeed.
The Ohio candidates used to be called ‘western’.
William Jennings Bryan was certainly considered a westerner in the early 20th.
