The big differences between rural California and Rural Mississippi from my experience:
1. Rural California has way fewer black people.
2. Rural California is more geographically wealth-segregated. (The probability that a larger acreage and higher-owner-income rural property is adjacent to trailers is greater in Mississippi than California.)
In rural Mississippi people pretend their black neighbors don't exist unless they need "help." In rural California people just don't have black neighbors.
In general rural California is probably much more like Mississippi than you'd think.
