It is probably the same in other states as well and likely accounts for what we are seeing.

I grew up in CA and don't recall having to parallel park during my driving test. I'm in my 30s.
My wife grew up in Boston. She the best parallel parker I've ever seen. Give her a spot 6 inches longer than the car and she gets in, first try. No shuffling back and forth. OK, maybe a slight exaggeration, but not far from the truth.
