You're absolutely right in spirit, CA incomes are way higher in all senses as compared to NC. That said, for professionals working in the research triangle park (IBM, SAS, GE etc) or bankers in Charlotte 6 figs is not weird at all. NC is one of the better-off southern states (we gave up relatively quickly in the civil war and its still paying off).
