California cities top for single mothers

California ranks among the worst states for single mothers due to high living costs, with five metro areas—Fresno, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, Los Angeles, and Riverside-San Bernardino—faring poorly in a study. The state's median home value is around $764,000, and monthly rents range from approximately $2,180 to over $2,700, while full-time childcare costs between $1,200 and $2,800. These expenses contribute to significant financial strain for single mothers supporting their families on one income. The study's rankings highlight California's challenging environment for solo parents compared to other regions with lower costs and better access to services.
