Too often people focus on the cost of living in cities, due to housing costs, and fail to consider how much more inexpensive it is to live in suburban or rural areas of these large states. For example, California gets dinged on city housing costs, taxes, and gas but is counter balanced by lower the cost of healthcare, food, rural housing, and consumer goods.
What data are you looking at? I literally just matched 8/10 on cost of living for poor.
