Welcome to EL&U. You might be a native of a state because you are from there ("from" being defined differently by different people) or a resident because you currently live there, but there is no concept that corresponds exactly to nationality because the American legal and political system does not treat association with a state in the same way that international law governs association with a country. Your question might be improved if you could explain what concept you are trying to express.

@choster I was putting somebody’s profile into a table and used the word ‘residence’ to label the entry for the state they live in. I want to know if there is a more specific word that I can use to make it more explicit and easy for people to know its what state they live in, not the city, country, etc

Nationality does not refer to residence, so the question as worded is unclear; please edit it. You might benefit from reading the guidance for single word requests as well. Generally, requests for help with naming or labeling are not well-received here, but if you can formulate an example sentence that would use this word, someone might be able to help. I strongly encourage you to take the site tour and review the help center for further guidance.

Just use state.
That's exactly what's used on forms that ask people what state they live in.

From a legal point of view, the word is citizenship. From the 14th amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
A US citizen who resides in California is, therefore, a citizen of California.
From the point of view of your database, however, I would use state of residence or residence state. Using just state could be confusing if there are also mailing addresses in the table.
