According to Wikipedia, that map takes into account cost-of-living factors such as differential housing costs.

A neat tool here that shows housing costs by percentage of income in each state.
Nor does failure ever change the mind of conservatives, but conservatives do go through the trouble to lie about facts so as to be able to still claim success.
Conservative modus operandi:
Step 1. Set a goal to screw everyone else without constraint so a few can gain the utmost untrammeled wealth and influence.
Step 2. Lie all the time, about all things, in all ways so step 1 can be made to seems like the fulfillment of some noble principle that all the completely screwed can be hoodwinked into buying.
Step 3. Shout in the execution of step 2 as loudly and as continuously as the funds provided by those benefiting from step 1 will allow, so the heads of the gullible becomes aswim with step 2, thus facilitating step 1.

Nevertheless, what I said is true.
Politifact
If you want to explain it away as housing costs then the next question is this: "Why are housing costs and the cost of living so high in California?"
Are you guys seriously trying to tell me that liberal zoning, high taxes, land use policies and regulations play no role in the cost of housing? Gimme a break.

Except that the source I've quoted disagrees. So here we are.

I'm not sure why you're ascribing any of that to me. Reread my post and tell me what makes you think I hold any of that straw you're strewing about, please. Be specific.

https://census.gov/library/visualization...y_map.html
I ask because it looks suspiciously similar to the data you're objecting to...and it's the census bureau's map....so? Just level with us man..who told you that california had the highest poverty rate in the nation..and how did they support their heterodox conclusion? Do you think it's possible that they might have fibbed to you about a few other things you think are super true?

Your data appears to be older than the data above. You'd need a time machine to make your statement true. That's a novel way of keeping score between r's and d's...and their policies, imo. I'm sure the dems will be along to chuckle shortly.

I think that you only factor such things in, when it helps the leftists cause! Therefore you are doing it wrong.
