> So what makes northern California different from North Carolina
Did this study take into account cost of living differences? California's more expensive. There are a number of reasons for that, some historical, some coincidental, some because of the weather. But, regardless of the reasons, if you're measuring income on a national scale it is simply far easier for someone in CA to be in the top 20% than for someone living in a comparatively cheap area of the country.

The south is so levered in favor of owners and controllers of capital that the poor have no shot. Double this up with per capita spending on students k-12 and this gets generational really fast.
