Job gains from establishments with positive third month employment for the first time in the current quarter with no links to the prior quarter, or establishments with positive third month employment in the current quarter and zero employment in the third month of the previous four quarters. Births are a subset of Openings, which are broader and include establishments with re-openings within a year (e.g., seasonal businesses). All data is for Private establishments, all establishment size classes, not seasonally adjusted. Data is drawn from the Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages and covers all private establishments with covered workers who worked during or received pay for the pay period that included the 12th day of the subject quarter, including workers on paid leave during that period. The data is establishment based, meaning it is based on the number of wage and salary jobs rather than the number of people employed.

The Affordability Gap in each geography is measured by the total for all Necessity Costs compared to pre-tax income. Necessity Costs are net of the duplication in property tax for homeowners and motor vehicle licenses for all households, and also have been adjusted to net out the tax incidence amounts in the Tax component estimated for fees and other taxes, other property taxes, and sales tax as a significant portion of these items have already been built into the prices paid for items such as food, fuels, and other consumer goods and services. The resulting number is used to show the total and percentage of income for the average household spent annually on the necessities contained in the Index.
The Affordability Gap can be used in two ways:
• Relative costs in each California geography can be shown by comparing to the average Affordability Gap for all states other than California (US less California). Relative costs within California can be shown by comparing to the California average.
• Cost burdened provides an absolute measure for comparing geographies, based on the ratio of total Necessity Costs to average income. Cost Burdened is where the Necessity Costs contained in the Index fall between 70% and 75% of income. Severe Cost Burdened is where the necessity costs are 76% or more of income. Not Cost Burdened is where necessity costs are 69% or below.
The cost burdened measure was developed from the detailed average expenditure results in the 2017 Consumer Expenditures Survey that allows a comparison to the expenditure categories in the Affordability Index. Spending at the 76% of income level for the Index necessities allows just for other essential goods and services (other housing costs such as maintenance, repairs, equipment, and supplies; apparel and services; personal care products and services; and other transportation costs not included in the Index such as maintenance and repairs, vehicle payments, and public and other transportation). At this point, spending is crowded out for “nonessentials” (such as entertainment and reading; miscellaneous including alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and other; and cash contributions), expenditures related to upward mobility and the future (education, savings, and life and other personal insurance), as well as any amounts needed for other items such as child care and elder care.
Individual households will obviously make adjustments well before the 76% level is reached, but this measure represents the point where keeping up with just the Index necessities becomes overwhelming for the average household.

The Affordability Index is structured to display the core costs of living faced by the average household (owner-occupied and renter-occupied) in the different states and for California, the counties and legislative districts. The Affordability Index is consequently a measure of how the general cost of living differs by geographic area rather than—as in other indices of this type—a measure of what a given income can buy in different areas.
Data availability varies for each of the components contained in the Index. All values, however, are brought up to the same, most current full year using the different estimation sources discussed under each component. These estimations are performed on a rolling basis. As data is published, it is provided in an update, and the subsequent year is then estimated from this base.

The cost of housing continues to rise in California as the supply of housing grows far slower than the rate needed to keep up with population. As stated by the nonpartisan Legislative Analysts’ Office: Rent is high in California because the state does not have enough housing for everyone who wants to live here. People who want to live here must compete for housing, which increases rents. The state Department of Housing & Community Development estimates that California has needed 180,000 new housing units each year since 2014 (200,000 units in the prior years) just to keep up with population. Yet, the Center’s Indicators show permits for only 116,000 housing units were issued in 2018.In fact, since 1990, new housing permits have been near or exceeded the required additional supply in only three years.
The cost of housing is also affected by the significantly higher costs of building in California. These factors include relatively higher costs for land but also items such as the greater cost and length of the required permitting in California compared to other states, the growing size of local fees including escalating “impact” fees, restrictions on the type of finishings that can be used such as appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and irrigation, and other state and local regulatory requirements unique to California that mandate how housing is to be built and where it can be located.
The Housing Cost category in the Index is shown separately for owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing using averages within each of the covered jurisdictions. The components in this category include all housing costs, including mortgage or rent payments along with property tax, property insurance, electricity, natural gas, and water and sanitary sewer to encompass the full costs of housing generally used in affordability comparisons.
Rents paid by households vary widely by what they cover—rent alone or rent along with amounts for utilities built into the rent amount or allocated as a separate monthly charge.In the Index, Rent is the average gross rent adjusted for these costs—electricity, natural gas, and water/sewer.Data is taken from the American Community Survey tabulations and from IPUMS NHGIS, University of Minnesota, www.nhgis.org, and from analysis of the American Community Survey public use microdata statistics through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. The rents were bottom coded to remove the lower outliers and cover units with at least 2 bedrooms. The data was grouped by household income in increments ($0 – $50,000; $50,001 – $100,000; $100,001 – $150,000) to produce averages paid at the average income levels in the Index. The gross rent amounts were then adjusted for the amounts paid for electricity, natural gas, and water and sewer.
The data contained in the Index is the average of rents actually being paid by rental households by income group, including those who have been in the same unit for several years and those living in rent-controlled units often for many years. As a result, these average numbers are generally lower than the average and median rents more frequently reported in the media, which are not rents being paid but instead are asking rents for units on the market.
For some geographic levels, the data is only available in the 5-year results from the American Community Survey. These are turned into one-year estimates using a census share methodology.For the smaller counties, the estimates are based on their relative shares within the encompassing Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA).For the legislative districts, the estimates are based on their relative shares of their component county portions and for districts wholly within a single county, adjusted based on the relationship for the 5-year values.
The American Community Survey data is top coded at about $5,300 a month. The data is adjusted for this factor to some extent by the fact that state values in the Survey above the annual top code level are entered as the average of all such values. However, this component of the Index still likely undercounts values for very high cost areas such as San Francisco and much of the rest of the Bay Area.
Data is generally available with a 2-year lag. Estimates for the most current year are done using the change in the Zillow Rent Index for all rental types.
While currently a significant factor primarily in the larger urban areas, condo and other homeowners association fees are becoming a more significant component of housing costs as state policies push more for multi-family housing developments, and even in the case of single family developments as a result of local regulations and fee structures.
This factor was estimated through the PUMS data and University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org
Values for the smaller counties are taken as the overall overage for the encompassing PUMA. Values for the legislative districts were estimated from an average of the component counties, weighted by owner-occupied units. Because of the small differences, a single average rather than by income class was used.
Prices for electricity in California have risen substantially compared to the national average as a result of growing state mandates on electricity generation under the state’s climate change program. Between 2010 (when the state’s Early Action climate change elements were begun) through 2018, the average annual residential bill grew 24% in California, while the average bill for all other states grew only 5%.
Electricity bills also vary widely within the state primarily coming from the need for air conditioning in the hotter interior regions. From the calculations in the Index for 2018, average annual electricity use was as much as twice as high for homeowners in the Central Valley compared to the milder climate Bay Area, and close to three times as high for renters.
Annual Electricity cost in the Index was estimated through the PUMS data and University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. In the calculations, extreme values were removed from the sample to develop a more reasonable average. Values for the smaller counties are taken as the overall overage for the encompassing PUMA.Values for the legislative districts were estimated from an average of the component counties, weighted by units for each tenure class.
Previous analysis by the Census Bureau concluded that the Survey respondents generally overestimate the value of this cost.The initial results were consequently trued up to other data on electricity use. Usage by kWh was estimated for each jurisdiction by using the applicable average annual price for residential end users from US Energy Information Administration, and then adjusted to conform to total annual residential use for both the states using US Energy Information Administration data and the counties using Energy Commission data.
The American Community Survey data is generally available with a 2-year lag while the price information is available with only a 4-month lag. The most recent year values were estimated using the prior year usage by tenure type and the most current year residential electricity price.

Property Insurance is the average annual amount for each income band for fire, hazard, and flood insurance. This factor was estimated through the PUMS data and University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. Values for the smaller counties are taken as the overall overage for the encompassing PUMA. Values for the legislative districts were estimated from an average of the component counties, weighted by owner-occupied units.

Data is taken from the American Community Survey tabulations and from IPUMS NHGIS, University of Minnesota, www.nhgis.org, and from analysis of the American Community Survey public use microdata statistics through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. The data was grouped by household income ($0 – $50,000; $50,001 – $100,000; $100,001 – $150,000; $150,001 – $200,000; $200,001 – 300,000) to produce averages paid at the average income levels in the Index while retaining sufficient survey responses to cover these income bands in most areas. Where applicable, property tax and insurance components were netted out where one or both were included in the primary mortgage payment. The mortgage payment component includes both the primary and any secondary (including lines of credit) mortgage secured by the primary residence. The legislative district estimates are an average of the component counties, weighted by owner households within each county portion. For those districts lying wholly within the larger counties, an adjustment was made based on the relationship between selected owner costs from the 5-year American Community Survey data.
The data in the Index shows the average mortgage payment (net of property taxes and insurance) currently paid at the household income level in each area. As such, this data includes households who have just bought their homes, households who have lived at the same address for decades, and those who have refinanced their loans including often borrowing against their principle for home improvements and other purposes. The resulting averages show what homeowners are now paying in each area, and do not reflect current home values such as the rising median housing prices that are often cited in the media. As with rents, the mortgage values in the Index are what households now pay, and not what they would pay if moving into the area and buying a new home.
The property tax component is included in both the Housing Cost and Tax Burden categories of the Index, but this duplication is netted out in the overall Gap values.
Data is generally available with a 2-year lag. Estimates for the most current year are done using the change in the Zillow Home Value Index for all housing types and the relative housing values for legislative districts contained in the Center’s Indicators.
California prices for natural gas for many years were below national averages as a result of ample interstate pipeline capacity that produced a highly competitive market.This situation has changed as that capacity has grown constrained and as natural gas costs have also been affected by the state’s climate change policies.In 2018, California residential natural gas prices were 21% higher than the average for the rest of the states.
Natural gas use also varies by region in California primarily because of colder winter weather in the interior regions.From the calculations in the Index for 2018, average annual natural use was as much as a quarter higher for homeowners and renters in the Central Valley compared to the milder climate Bay Area.
Annual Natural Gas cost in the Index was estimated through the PUMS data and University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org.In the calculations, extreme values were removed from the sample to develop a more reasonable average.Values for the smaller counties are taken as the overall overage for the encompassing PUMA.Values for the legislative districts were estimated from an average of the component counties, weighted by units for each tenure class.

California’s ranking in property tax collections depends on which measure is used. Because of Proposition 13, California has a relatively low tax rate. Tax Foundation data indicates California had the 35th highest rate in 2017, at 0.70% of full market value. Proposition 13’s limits on property tax rates and reassessments also mean households buying a home or employers buying a property to begin a business know with a high level of certainty what their property tax payments will be over time, while this amount will vary in other states according to periodic assessments of a property’s value and far fewer limits on the property tax rate.
Measured by property tax collections per capita, however, California ranks much higher at 17th as a result of the state’s significantly higher property values.
Property Tax costs in the Index are estimated in two components. The portion paid by homeowners is calculated as described under the Housing Cost category.
For the non-homeowner portion, the homeowner total is subtracted from total property tax revenues (state and local government total) reported in the annual US Census Bureau State & Local Government Finance report. The amount ultimately passed on to individuals (through higher prices and reduced wages) by businesses is estimated using the general share of existing business taxes shifted to labor and prices from a 2010 business tax incidence study prepared for US Federation of Tax Administrators. The result is then divided by the total number of households in each geographic area. No adjustments are made for differences between homeowners and renters, although renters pay a relatively higher share as a result of property tax pass-throughs in their rent. This amount is assumed to be counterbalanced for the relatively lower consumption levels as reflected in the differences in average income.
The Census Data is generally available with a 3-year lag. The non-homeowner portion is updated based on the relationship between homeowner and non-homeowner portions in the most recent year available.
Note that the homeowner portion is included in both the Housing Cost and Tax Burden categories, with the duplication adjusted in the total amounts used for the Gap calculations.
There is an element of double counting associated with the non-homeowner portion. This component is already built into prices paid for food, energy, healthcare, and insurance and generally is incorporated into rents as well. While these sectors do not constitute the full amounts paid, the overlap is significant enough that this component is adjusted from the total amounts used for the Gap calculations. This element is retained in the Tax portion of the Index to illustrate the total cost of taxes to the average household in each area.
Rents paid by households vary widely by what they cover—rent alone or rent along with amounts for utilities built into the rent amount or allocated as a separate monthly charge. In the Index, Rent is the average gross rent adjusted for these costs—electricity, natural gas, and water/sewer. Data is taken from the American Community Survey tabulations and from IPUMS NHGIS, University of Minnesota, www.nhgis.org, and from analysis of the American Community Survey public use microdata statistics through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org.

The data was grouped by household income in increments ($0 – $50,000; $50,001 – $100,000; $100,001 – $150,000) to produce averages paid at the average income levels in the Index. The gross rent amounts were then adjusted for the amounts paid for electricity, natural gas, and water and sewer.
The data contained in the Index is the average of rents actually being paid by rental households by income group, including those who have been in the same unit for several years and those living in rent-controlled units often for many years. As a result, these average numbers are generally lower than the average and median rents more frequently reported in the media, which are not rents being paid but instead are asking rents for units on the market.
For some geographic levels, the data is only available in the 5-year results from the American Community Survey. These are turned into one-year estimates using a census share methodology. For the smaller counties, the estimates are based on their relative shares within the encompassing Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA). For the legislative districts, the estimates are based on their relative shares of their component county portions and for districts wholly within a single county, adjusted based on the relationship for the 5-year values.
The American Community Survey data is top coded at about $5,300 a month. The data is adjusted for this factor to some extent by the fact that state values in the Survey above the annual top code level are entered as the average of all such values. However, this component of the Index still likely undercounts values for very high cost areas such as San Francisco and much of the rest of the Bay Area.
Data is generally available with a 2-year lag. Estimates for the most current year are done using the change in the Zillow Rent Index for all rental types.
Water is the average amount paid annually for each income band for both water and sanitary sewer service. This factor was estimated through the PUMS data and University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. In the calculations, extreme values were removed from the sample to develop an average closer to the typical household use. Values for the smaller counties are taken as the overall overage for the encompassing PUMA. Values for the legislative districts were estimated from an average of the component counties, weighted by units for each tenure class.
The American Community Survey data is generally available with a 2-year lag. The most recent year values were estimated using the prior 2-year average growth.

The indicator shows average household income by tenure, calculated by dividing total household income by total number of housing units in each jurisdiction for both owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units.Data source is the annual American Community Survey, taken directly both from the US Census Bureau tabulations and from data available through IPUMS NHGIS, University of Minnesota, www.nhgis.org.Average income covers before-tax household income from all sources, and is not adjusted for non-cash government transfer payments such as food stamps or the value of Medi-Cal benefits or for the value of employee non-wage compensation such as health insurance benefits.

Transportation is the total annual cost for fuel, fuel taxes, vehicle insurance, and motor vehicle licenses.
Transportation is the total annual cost for fuel, fuel taxes, vehicle insurance, and motor vehicle licenses.
As of July 2019, California had the highest gasoline tax at $0.7960 per gallon (federal and state taxes). Although not included as a separate fuel, California also had the highest diesel tax at $1.1133 a gallon.
Total annual cost for fuel taxes was estimated using the annual gallons of gasoline used by each household type, as detailed under the Fuel methodology. Applicable federal, state, and local taxes by state are from the July reports each year from American Petroleum Institute. The value for each of the California geographies uses the state average and is not adjusted for any differences in sales tax rates.

The value for each of the California geographies uses the state average and is not adjusted for any differences in sales tax rates.
Throughout 2018, California had the highest or second highest price among the states for gasoline and diesel. While some of the factors producing these price levels are a result of higher general operating costs in California for production, transport, and retail sale of these fuels, others are attributable to several California-only conditions. California has its own regulations for the formulation of these fuels, and the costs to produce to these regulations are higher. The regulations also have changed frequently over time, leading to additional production cost components. As of July 2019, California had the highest gasoline tax at $0.7960 per gallon (federal and state taxes). Additional costs have also come increasingly from the state climate change program, including Cap and Trade fees on both the production and use of fuels as well as production-specific regulations such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
California fuel prices are more volatile than in other states. Because of the state’s regulations on fuel production, there have been limited and in some years no alternative sources for compliant fuels and blending components, essentially isolating the state from all other fuel markets. Any disruptions at the state’s refineries—which have been more likely during the biannual refinery changeovers between the winter and summer fuel formulations—have often led to supply disruptions and consequent price increases.
Fuel costs are based on annual vehicle miles traveled using data from the 2009 and 2017 National Household Travel Surveys under US Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The estimates come from average vehicle miles traveled per driver by tenure (owner occupied and renter occupied) and income class by state, and then are applied to the average household income by tenure estimated for each state. In cases where the miles data point is not available or a clear outlier, the state-wide average was used instead. The 2009 Survey is used for 2005-2012 to reach the mid point between the two survey periods. The 2017 results are used for 2013 to the most current year.
Using two drivers per household and the assumption that the second vehicle is driven half as much as the first, total number of gallons of gasoline annually were calculated using the national average of fuel efficiency for existing US light duty vehicles from US Department of Transportation. This data generally has a three-year lag, and updates to the most recent year were based on the average value of the two most recent available years, an approach which currently reflects the growing consumer preference for light trucks that accelerated after 2016. While California is the only state with a significant component of zero emission vehicles in its fleet, no adjustments have yet been made due to: (1) low overall penetration to date into the total California fleet, (2) results of studies indicating that many of the battery electric vehicles continue to be driven primarily as other than the main commuting vehicle, and (3) two-thirds of “zero emission vehicles” sold in the state to date are actually combustion-electric hybrids. This factor will be revisited as appropriate in future updates.
Total annual fuel costs were then calculated using the average annual price per gallon for each state from GasBuddy.com data, adjusted to be net of applicable federal, state, and local taxes.

The factors going into insurance costs varies widely by state. Regulation of prices and the price factors insurance providers are able to consider is also different in every case.
Vehicle Insurance costs are developed from data obtained from Zebra’s State of Auto Insurance Reports (https://www.thezebra.com/), using the average rates published for each state and for the California geographies, averages based on the Zebra zip code data weighted by population. The costs assume two vehicles per household, with a 20% multiple vehicle discount for the second one. Data is available through the current year. However, the data is only available beginning in 2011, and transportation costs calculated in the years prior to that include only the fuel cost component.

Tax incidence theory concludes that ultimately, consumers and workers bear the cost of all or most of taxes, both as a result of taxes levied directly on them along with taxes they pay indirectly as business taxes are passed on to them through higher prices, lower wages, or fewer working hours. An awareness that these business costs get passed on to consumers is particularly evident among lower income workers. In surveys done for the Center’s recent Jobs, Poverty and Upward Mobility project, nearly two-thirds of low income Californians agreed that a higher minimum wage would help workers like themselves, but a higher share at three-fourths believed higher minimum wage leads to higher prices.
According to Tax Foundation data, California had the 8th highest state tax collections per capita in 2017, at $3,936 per person or $15,744 for a family of four. In 2016, California also ranked 8th highest for combined state and local tax collections per person at $6,077 per person, or $24,308 for a family of four.
Tax Burden cost in the Index is the sum of taxes and fees paid by household, calculated separately for owner-occupied and renter-occupied households. Federal income, state personal income, and FICA taxes are calculated through the TAXSIM application available through the National Bureau of Economic Research (https://users.nber.org/~taxsim/taxsim27/). Rather than general comparisons based on total tax revenues, this approach allows for detailed consideration of tax brackets, credits, and exemption policies incorporated into the different federal and Sales Tax state tax codes over time. Federal income taxes are included to incorporate the interplay of exemptions for local taxes and mortgage interest. FICA, which does not vary among the states, is included to ensure the indicator assesses the full tax burden on households. The total tax burden also includes property tax, sales tax, and fees and other taxes with the property tax component included in both Housing Cost and Tax Burden. This duplication is netted out in the overall Gap values.
The tax calculations are current through the most recent year, but rely on the estimates as discussed under the individual components as inputs.

Federal Personal Income Tax is calculated through TAXSIM. The primary change affecting differences among the states is the federal tax reform components that were effective for the 2018 amounts. These effects vary widely by state, but the results for California can be illustrated by comparing the calculated tax bills for 2017 and 2018 using the assumptions below and the 2018 amounts including keeping income ($133,400 for homeowners in both years and $72,900 for renters) the same. From this comparison, the average owner-occupied household in California saw their federal tax bill drop $1,810 as a result of the federal changes, and the average renter-occupied household saw a drop of $2,180.
The TAXSIM application was run based on the following assumptions to ensure a like-for-like comparison between the states: joint filing by a household composed of two adults aged 30 with two children under 17, average income for owner and renter households taken as the estimate in each jurisdiction, total income coming solely from wages split equally between the two adults, no childcare expenses, mortgage interest for homeowner households estimated by assuming an average mortgage age of 7 years for the amounts shown under Housing Cost, property tax for homeowner households taken from the estimated average property tax for each area, and rent for renter households taken from the estimated average for each area as calculated under the Housing Cost category. These last three components were included to incorporate tax effects from the relevant deductions and to reflect state income tax policies on property tax rebates for renters.

A growing component of the total tax burden on households comes from fees and other taxes collected by states and a wide array of local governments. At the state level in California, the primary budget focus is always the General Fund which is supported primarily by Personal Income Tax, Sales Tax, Corporation Income Tax, and Insurance Tax. In 2018-19, the General Fund total amounted to $143 billion. But that same year, state fees and special taxes into the Special Funds were about another $63 billion, largely paid directly by households or indirectly as these costs were incorporated into prices for the affected goods and services. Local governments in California have a much higher reliance on similar fees and special taxes for their revenues.
The tax incidence—who actually pays in the end—of these fees and taxes is variable. A number are levied directly on individuals and households, and are paid by them as a result. Others are imposed on businesses, but vary in the extent to which they are then passed on to consumers and workers through higher prices and lower wages, shifted to capital, exported to other states and countries through sale of goods and services, or absorbed through lower profits. In California, some business fees are passed on directly to customers such as the cost of the state’s cap and trade system and fees on tires, mattresses, electronics, containers, and a growing array of other goods presumed to be used for recycling.
No good data exists that could be used to break down this component by how much is paid directly by households vs. what is levied on business in every state. Consequently, this component takes a conservative approach that the total amount is levied on business. The amount passed onto workers and consumers through lower wages and higher prices is then estimated using the general share of existing business taxes shifted to labor and prices from a 2010 business tax incidence study prepared for US Federation of Tax Administrators.
Fees & Other Taxes per household is calculated using the Other Taxes and Other Current Charges revenues reported in the US Census Bureau State & Local Government Finance report, total for both state and local governments. Because these categories include gross revenue taxes levied by some states such as Texas and various cities to replace or supplement corporation income tax, Corporation Income Tax is included in this amount as well to provide a consistent comparison. The total is then adjusted for tax incidence as above and divided by the total number of households in each geographic area.
These amounts do not include proceeds from and public enterprise user charges such as parking fees and utility fees. They also do not include all business income taxes as fewer businesses are now organized as corporations, but instead as forms such as LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships that are taxed on a pass-through basis under personal income tax. For example, in the latest data from the California Franchise Tax Board, those corporations reporting a profit in 2016 paid a total of $9.3 billion in income tax. The other business forms—as reported through business income, rents and royalties, partnerships and S-Corporations, and farms—paid an estimated net total of $17.4 billion through personal income taxes. Because data is not readily available for all the other states, this much larger component is not included.
The total amount of this component can also vary by where a household is located or where purchases are made within a state as the local level of fees and other charges can vary widely by state, county, city, and in some cases neighborhood as well.
The Census data is available by fiscal year, and is transformed into a calendar year basis by dividing the applicable fiscal year amounts by two. The information also is generally available with a 3-year lag. The estimates are updated in the first year using the growth rate in the applicable state-only portion available in the related Census Annual Survey of State Government reports. The remaining two years are estimated using a conservative estimate that total revenues grow at the same rate as inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
There is also some overlap between this component and the other Index categories. Some portion of fees and other taxes is already incorporated into Food (primary Food Away from Home), Housing, Healthcare, and Transportation. While these sectors do not constitute the full amounts paid, the overlap is significant enough that this component is adjusted from the total amounts used for the Gap calculations. This element is retained in the Tax portion of the Index to illustrate the total cost of taxes to the average household in each area.

FICA payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare are calculated through TAXSIM using the assumptions described under Federal Personal Income Tax. Although not incorporated into the Index, employers pay an equal amount which forms a portion of total compensation paid as retirement benefits rather than directly as wages. Self-employed pay both the worker and employer shares, but are able to deduct the “employer” portion from their taxes to gain a partial offset.
Other state-specific payroll taxes such as California’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) Tax, Employment Training Tax (ETT), and State Disability Insurance (SDI) Tax are not included. These vary widely among the states, both in terms of tax rates and the income base to which they are applied

Average household Property Tax is calculated for each income band both from the American Community Survey tabulations and from the related PUMS data using the University of California, Berkeley SDA program available through IPUMS USA, University of Minnesota, www.ipums.org. The smaller county numbers are the averages from the encompassing Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMA). The legislative district estimates are an average of the component counties, weighted by owner households within each county portion.
The American Community Survey data is generally available with a 2-year lag. The most recent year numbers are estimated using the average growth rate over the prior two years.
The data used in this element is based on self-reported tax amounts from the survey respondents. Consequently, the amounts are likely the totals shown on the annual tax bills rather than just the amounts from the general property tax rate that is normally used in property tax comparisons. These bills in California include other local taxes on property including rates for voter-approved general obligation bonds, parcel taxes, and Mello-Roos rates. As such, this data incorporates all taxes on property rather than just the general rate information typically used from the Board of Equalization.
While the property tax component does not apply directly to renter occupied households, this tax on residential rental property is reflected in the average rents as an element of the cost of providing this type of housing.
Property Tax is also included under the Tax Burden category. The duplicative value for the homeowner’s portion is netted out in the totals used in the Gap calculations.

According to Tax Foundation data, California has the highest state general tax rate at 7.25%. Including the average of local add-ons, California has the 9th highest combined state-local average tax rate of 8.56%.
Sales tax practices, however, also vary widely by state—including 5 states that have no sales tax—with a different array of goods and services subject to sales tax in each location with items such as food being treated as taxable depending on how and where they are offered by sale. Ranked by per capita sales tax collected, California ranks 29th.
Sales Tax per household is calculated using the General Sales Tax revenues reported in the annual US Census Bureau State & Local Government Finance report, total for both state and local governments, divided by the total number of households in each geographic area.
The Census data is available by fiscal year, and is transformed into a calendar year basis through a running average of the two applicable fiscal years. The information also is generally available with a 3-year lag. The estimates are updated in the first year using the growth rate in the applicable state-only portion available in the related Census Annual Survey of State Government reports. The remaining two years are estimated using a conservative estimate that total revenues grow at the same rate as inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
Not all sales tax is paid directly by households, with businesses also paying tax on some purchases as well. Which sales are taxable and what portion is paid directly by households varies widely state to state, but tax incidence theory indicates that consumers end up paying the full amount—both directly as they buy taxable goods and services and indirectly as the amount paid by businesses on intermediate goods and services is embedded in the final product. However, at least a portion of the indirect amount is shifted out of state through sales to other states and countries. While the results will differ by state and year, a general adjustment factor was developed using 2017 data for California. The portion of these taxes exported through out of state sales was estimated using estimates of the state’s good and services exports in 2014 compared to total state GDP.
The total amount of annual sales tax paid can also vary by where a household is located or where purchases are made within a state as local add-on rates may be different. As of April 2019, total sales tax rates in California ranged from 7.25% to 10.50%. The state average, however, is used for all areas within the state.
There is also some overlap between this component and the other Index categories. Some portion of sales tax is already incorporated into Food (primarily Food Away from Home), Transportation, and Healthcare. While these sectors do not constitute the full amounts paid, the overlap is significant enough that this component is adjusted from the total amounts used for the Gap calculations. This element is retained in the Tax portion of the Index to illustrate the total cost of taxes to the average household in each area.
According to Tax Foundation data, California has the highest state general tax rate at 7.25%. Including the average of local add-ons, California has the 9th highest combined state-local average tax rate of 8.56%.
Sales tax practices, however, also vary widely by state—including 5 states that have no sales tax—with a different array of goods and services subject to sales tax in each location with items such as food being treated as taxable depending on how and where they are offered by sale. Ranked by per capita sales tax collected, California ranks 29th.

According to Tax Foundation data, California has the highest state personal income tax rate at 13.3%, while seven states do not impose this tax. The steeply progressive nature of California’s tax system, however, affects the results at different income levels if ranking is instead done by the amount of state tax paid.
State Personal Income Tax is calculated through TAXSIM using the assumptions described under Federal Income Tax.

Motor Vehicle Licenses per household is calculated using the reported revenues in the US Census Bureau State & Local Government Finance report, total for both state and local governments, divided by the total number of households in each geography. To estimate the portion paid by households rather than businesses, the totals are adjusted based on the share of commercial vs. other vehicles in California.

In 2017 in California, the American Community Survey shows 53.7% of the population had coverage through their employer, 16.6% Medicare or VA, 26.6% Medi-Cal and other means tested coverage, 12.6% by direct purchase private coverage (of which about a quarter was Medicare supplemental), and 7.2% were uninsured due to a variety of factors including job transitioning, employer insurance vesting periods, cost/benefit considerations (especially for younger adults), overall cost, and immigration status. Note that these percentages are for persons covered alone or in combination by the various insurance sources and add to more than 100%.
The actual amount paid annually for healthcare will vary depending on the source of healthcare coverage.In the case of employer coverage, households generally pay only a portion if any of the amount out of pocket, but in essence cover the entire amount as health benefits are one of the primary components of total compensation, with this benefit being provided in lieu of a portion of wages beginning in California during World War II. Coverage of other types vary widely on out-of-pocket costs and the extent to which each type represents an addition to total household income as a government transfer payment.Payments for Medicare are dependent on income level and plan type. Private insurance purchased through Covered California varies by income and the availability of tax credits. Self-employed generally are eligible for tax deductions for family insurance coverage. Finally, co-pays and annual deductibles vary widely by plan and by state, with a general trade-off between the plan cost and the amount of the deductible. This variability, however, is captured by using average out-of-pocket costs.
The Healthcare cost category in the Index is the total of the amount paid annually by households for health insurance, medical services (including co-pays and deductibles), prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and medical supplies. Data is from US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey, using the percentage of income before taxes allocated to Healthcare by income group adjusted to a four-person household. Data for each state is taken from the applicable geographic Division region (Northeast, South, Midwest, West).
The core data is generally available with a two-year lag. The most recent year estimates were calculated using the Medical Care component of the consumer price index for each applicable region Division.
The use of Consumer Expenditure Survey data produces results that are more variable over time, similar to those for the Food component of the Index. While factors affecting out-of-pocket healthcare expenses also are highly variable over time, the same data smoothing methods as for Food were used to provide more consistent results across time and geographies.

Prices for food prepared at home—such as food bought at grocery stores—in general have been stable or in some cases declined in recent years in California and other parts of the country. Prices for food prepared away from home—such as take-out and restaurant food—in contrast have grown rapidly as a result of higher costs for labor, taxes and fees, rent, energy, and other non-food components that go into preparing these products for sale to consumers.Food away from home, however, has become a growing component of the food budget for those consumers, especially lower income consumers, who now spend increasing portions of their day commuting as they have been forced further away from job centers in the search for housing they can afford.
The Food cost category in the Index is the total of the amount paid annually for food prepared at home and for take-out/restaurant food prepared away from home.

Data for each state is taken from the applicable geographic Division region (Northeast, South, Midwest, West).
The core data is generally available with a two-year lag. The most recent year estimates were calculated using the Food at Home and Food Away from Home components of the consumer price index for each applicable region Division, and for California geographies using the comparable indicators for California available in the Center’s Indicators.
Use of this data source produced data results that are far more variable than in the other components of the Index, in particular for states in the South, the smaller geographies, and for geographies where the average income is close to an income band endpoint rather than in the center. Results using the most recent year surveys, however, are more consistent.Data smoothing tools including use of 5-year averages were used to produce consistent results overall.

Share of electricity generation from renewable and sources producing no carbon dioxide emissions: geothermal, solar, wind, wood and wood derived fuel, other biomass, conventional hydroelectric, nuclear, and net production from pumped storage.
Data generally update Oct/Nov. Data based on generation within each state and does not include imports from other states. For example, in 2016, California imported 32% of its electricity, of which only one-third was from identifiable non-CO2 producing sources. This generation is assigned to the states in which it was produced and not applied to California’s total.
Total electricity generation (thousand megawatt-hours) from utility-scale solar and wind. Preliminary data available monthly, with final annual data generally having a 2-year lag. Data based on generation within each state and does not include imports from other states. Currently, distributed generation (i.e., thermal and photovoltaic solar panels) is only in the monthly data beginning 2015.
Total CO2 emissions cover direct fuel use across all sectors along with fuels used for electric generation allocated based on the location where fuels are consumed. For feedstock applications such as plastics, carbon stored in products is subtracted from emissions in the states where they are produced. Biomass is treated as carbon neutral. The data covers over 80% of total CO2 emissions in the US.
Counts emissions based on where energy is used. For example, California imported about a third of its electricity in 2016, but the associated emissions are counted in the state of production rather than California.
