That's a lot of areas to be comparing. You can use generalities though.

South: Low-cost of living, low taxes, warm weather, etc. You do have a lot of uneducated people (aka rednecks), and you may not find the entertainment you're looking for as a young graduate

California: expensive as well, high taxes, limited freedoms (think CARB), etc. Good weather, lots of stuff to do though.

Washington: read California

Wisconsin: I've actually lived in Madison, so I know what it's like. Housing is somewhat affordable in Madison, though not as cheap as someplace in the South. High utility bills in the winter and it's cold as hell. Taxes are pretty high and you have a bunch of liberal hippies living in Madison. Quite a bit of stuff to do on the weekends though.

Don't come live in California; we have too many people here already.

Please, please, please don't.

Well it is just my offensive opinion, but If you are in a gang and have no car insurance, Albq. is for you. Kurkey, is rough! I have lots of family there. I would NOT move there.
