To "seriously": You can't compare AL to NY and CA. Cost of living as a whole is a lot higher in both NY and CA, which is why wages/salaries (compare minimum wages) are also more there. Just because housing is more expensive in urban places doesn't mean that people who are well-off in rural places would be poor in big cities. Wealth is all relative.
