    California, typically one of the most prosperous and progressive states, is also one of the poorest.

    That’s according to new data from the US Census Bureau that offers insight into the economic status of people in California and the nation.

    The annual release of survey data measures income, poverty and insurance status.

    For California, that means another reminder that the state’s poverty rate of 18.2 percent is exceeded only by Washington DC, which has a poverty rate of 18.4 percent when you account for the cost of living. It accounts for about 1 in every six residents.

    The state’s poverty rate in 2018 was about 5 percentage points higher than the national average of 13.2 percent, using the “supplemental poverty measure” that accounts for the cost of living in each state, namely food, clothing, housing and utilities.

    Only states in the Deep South like Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida came close with poverty rates floating around 16 percent.Read more here:
