I guess California losing the most population of any state is just BS too.
There is a good reason why they are losing their poulation.
The same study looks at welfare growth or improvement over time.
The top 10: SD, RI, MD, CT, CA, NJ, VA, PA, NE, WY
The bottom 10: NM, AL, ME, KY, CO, MO, KS, OK, UT, GA
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
It loses population mainly because it has shot itself in the foot with overly restricting permitting rules that have created a housing crisis. This has driven away older, less productive and less educated people. There was an usual period post-covid where better educated people were leaving too. But the most recent data show migration trends among young highly educated people once again turning positive.
I certainly don't think this self-imposed housing crisis is a good thang. It is a black mark against the state and they need to find ways to fix it.
Otoh people like my mom are happy that their house has turned into a pot of gold. I'll be visiting her next week and will be happy to report on conditions on the ground in California.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Yet, people are fleeing from the blue states to the red.
You're in denial.
Cal has the highest unemployment in the nation too. This can't be real either. i guess those housing permits have destroyed Cal.

Here's an actual for real link to census bureau data and analysis of poverty by state:
https://www.census.gov/content/dam/C.../acsbr-016.pdf
and for any of y'all that are visual learners there's a nice picture on page 3
pro tip: when it says "census.gov" that be the real deal

Did you not notice that all of the links I showed you says that it's straight from the Census Bureau?
There's only one Census Bureau, dude.
The stats you're showing is just the plain old poverty rate without the full COL.
The other one is called the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) which measures everything.
Cal has the highest poverty, highest unemployment and are losing the most population of any state.
Quit trying to Cajun me because it won't work.
meanwhile i've been able to find plenty of links to data from organizations like the Census Bureau and the Federal Reserve looking at these issues
but hey not everyone has to do thangs by my rules
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
the federal reserve study i cited is probably the most thorough and comprehensive look living standards and also trends in living standards...it's a little dated which is a shame...but their approach is the best one i've seen so far
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
i wasn't too lazy to find this link
https://www.census.gov/content/dam/C.../acsbr-016.pdf
you gotta do better man
the least you could do is to trot out some conspiracy theory about how joe biden is making the census bureau hide or mess with the data

Still using older methods. Dude, you can't bull**** your way out of this.
Took me about a minute to find this. For an academic with a PhD you're pretty damn worthless. I guess now you're going to complain it's only in alphabetic order. However, you can plainly see California's 13.2%. Look on page 47.
Do you need me to help you read it as well?
