Gov. Gavin Newsom is fond of comparing California\u2019s economy to those of other states, particularly arch-rivals Texas and Florida, and even other nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, however, there was no braggadocio from the governor\u2019s office Tuesday when California found itself in a No. 1 economic position \u2014 having, once again, the nation\u2019s highest level of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, California\u2019s official poverty number, as calculated by the Census Bureau<\/a> for the 2021-23 window, was not terrible at 11.7% of its nearly 40 million residents, just slightly higher than the 11.4% national figure. But the official percentage, calculated by a formula that hasn\u2019t changed in decades and assumes the underlying economic conditions are the same everywhere, is widely rejected by academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to criticism, some years ago the Census Bureau developed a \u201csupplemental measure\u201d that takes into account a broader array of factors<\/a>, most importantly the cost of living. And it\u2019s California\u2019s supplemental poverty score \u2014 15.4% over the three years \u2014 that sets the state apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California\u2019s notoriously sky-high costs for housing<\/a>, energy and other living needs clobber the incomes of working-class families, driving them into poverty. The national supplemental rate is 11% and the lowest is South Dakota\u2019s 6.2%. Texas and Florida, frequent targets of Newsom\u2019s scorn, have rates of 12.6% and 14% respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By an even broader measure, California\u2019s 15.4% supplemental poverty rate understates its immense economic divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Policy Institute of California, using a methodology similar to that of the Census Bureau, calculated that in 2023, 31.1% of Californians were either at or near poverty<\/a>. Deep poverty, defined as \u201cfamilies with less than half of the resources to meet basic needs,\u201d was at 3.4%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the other end of the scale, the average income of those in the top 1% is $1.2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calculation that nearly a third of Californians are in serious economic distress comports with the fact that more than a third, 14.5 million, are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state\u2019s health care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starkly but regrettably, there is a distinct racial component to the California divide<\/a>, as displayed in a new report that was also released this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oakland-based Maven Collaborative, which advocates for economic equality, issued the report, entitled\u00a0\u201cLiving on the Brink: The True Cost of Being Californian<\/a>,\u201d\u00a0that explores \u201cvast economic inequality along gender and racial divides in the state, particularly for Black and brown Californians with children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It found that the share of households \u201cbarely scraping by\u201d increased by 8% between 2021 and 2023; that \u201cchildless Black households who are living paycheck to paycheck is nearly the same as white households with three children;\u201d that economic inequality is highest in the Bay Area communities with highest costs of living; that nearly a third of college-educated Black women face financial instability, twice the percentage of white men with degrees; and that an adult with one child living in San Francisco would have to work 22 hours a day, seven days a week, to cover basic living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese findings show California’s economic landscape is increasingly becoming one where only the white and wealthy can thrive,\u201d Maven\u2019s co-founder and co-president, Jhumpa Bhattacharya, said in a statement. \u201cLawmakers must take swift, decisive action to reverse these figures, which paint a clear picture: Black, brown and Indigenous families are facing a near-impossible financial battle to survive in our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California is, of course, a deeply blue state in which Democrats hold almost total political power and have enacted multiple programs aimed at closing the economic divide. However, if anything, it has gotten wider in recent years and the state now faces multiple years of budget deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s California\u2019s most glaring conundrum.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He began covering California politics in 1975, just as Jerry Brown began his first stint as governor, and began writing his column in 1981, first for the Sacramento Union for three years, then for The Sacramento Bee for 33 years and now for CalMatters since 2017. Dan is also the author or co-author of two books about California, \u201cThe New California: Facing the 21st Century\u201d and \u201cThe Third House: Lobbyists, Money and Power in Sacramento.\u201d He is a frequent radio show guest and occasionally appears on national television, commenting on California issues. Walters began his career in 1960 at the Humboldt Times in Eureka, California, a month before his 17th birthday, first as a newsroom aide and later as a police beat reporter. Having found his calling, he not only turned down a National Merit college scholarship but dropped out of high school, lacking one required class \u2013 ironically civics \u2013 to qualify for a diploma. Before moving to Sacramento to cover politics, he was the managing editor of three small daily newspapers. He has two adult daughters and three grandsons.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DanCALmatters"],"birthDate":"1943-10-10","gender":"Male","jobTitle":"Columnist","worksFor":"CalMatters.org","url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/author\/dan-walters\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2024\/09\/california-again-top-state-poverty\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Once again, California beats every other state when it comes to poverty","url":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2024\/09\/california-again-top-state-poverty\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2024\/09\/california-again-top-state-poverty\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/112222-Mobile-Home-Parks-in-Stockton-RL-CM-03.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/112222-Mobile-Home-Parks-in-Stockton-RL-CM-03.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Dan Walters","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"\ub304 \uc6d4\ud130\uc2a4"}],"creator":["Dan Walters"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"\uce7c\ub9e4\ud130\uc2a4","logo":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/calmatters-logo_2x.png"},"keywords":["commentary","economic inequality","poverty"],"dateCreated":"2024-09-11T07:01:00Z","datePublished":"2024-09-11T07:01:00Z","dateModified":"2024-09-11T07:01:00Z"},"rendered":"<meta name=\"parsely-title\" content=\"Once again, California beats every other state when it comes to poverty\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-link\" content=\"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2024\/09\/california-again-top-state-poverty\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-type\" content=\"post\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-image-url\" content=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/112222-Mobile-Home-Parks-in-Stockton-RL-CM-03.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-pub-date\" content=\"2024-09-11T07:01:00Z\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-section\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-tags\" content=\"commentary,economic inequality,poverty\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-author\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/calmatters.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/112222-Mobile-Home-Parks-in-Stockton-RL-CM-03.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439311"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":439359,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439311\/revisions\/439359"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439311"},{"taxonomy":"legislator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legislator?post=439311"},{"taxonomy":"bill","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bill?post=439311"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=439311"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=439311"}],"curies":[{"name":"\uc6cc\ub4dc\ud504\ub808\uc2a4","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
