Something California Doesnt Want You To Know California continues to have – by far – the nation’s highest level of poverty in the United States according to the Census Bureau that takes into account both broader measures of income and the cost of living. 23.4 percent of the state’s 38 million residents (9 million) live in extreme poverty. It pegged the statewide poverty rate at 22 percent and found some of the highest rates in the San Francisco Bay Area and coastal communities usually considered affluent due to their high costs of housing. Los Angeles had the highest rate in the state, 26.9 percent, followed by Napa at 25.5 percent.
