Not surprised (sad to see it’s this high though). The poverty level is calculated from the cost of living, so CA is at a huge disadvantage. Also the weather doesn’t force homeless people out of the state, so people in extreme poverty can stay put- compare that to Montana, where homeless and people without utilities can die during the winter and that pushes many out of the state.
