I think the topic should be "How many homes in CA have basement?" I lived in SD for over 21 years and was a real estate agent for 1 1/2 years. Even multi-million mega homes in La Jolla or Rancho Santa Fe (usually) don't have basements.

On the West Coast you worry about earth quakes, wild fires and God forbids, tsunami. Basements there won't do any good when you face any of the above diaster. What good is a basement if it can't provide you a shelter when need it?
