Higher than Alabama or Kentucky
I both live and was born in California. People who think it's some sort of liberal utopia are out of their minds. Central valley has the nations worst meth problem, LA the nations worst homeless problem. The cost of living is outrageous and it's totally unaffordable for the poor.

Did you read that article? The only refutation of it is that the cost of living used for the poverty rate included housing.
Ummmm....well most people have to pay for housing. The other points are just showing that California scores average on other measurements, and really seemed off point.
That all being said, California is still the best state for other reasons. Best weather, best weed, best beaches, best rock climbing.
