That is the 20th most expensive state.

The most expensive state is Hawaii and the least expensive state is Mississippi.

Sounds inflated to me. Clickbait. In that example, health ins. should be little or no cost (employer health ins. or ACA covering all or nearly all of the health premiums). Food, utilities, rent for a 1BR, modest economy car, insurance, etc. I could absolutely do it for under $48k if I were living frugally even less than that.
