Go on a dating site in Wyoming. Half the women you find on there don't seem to have jobs. My other guess would be Utah. Some families there really like to keep the kids coming so the wife stays at home,
Pennsylvania. WIC and Access are entitlements due once a woman gets pregnant. I went through a culture shock moving to the North where handouts are an accepted right.
Are there any places where it's still relatively common for a woman to graduate high school, maybe live at home for a few years, and then get married where they become a housewife without ever working a single day at a job or career.
Yes, just check out "Boardwalk" or "Park Place" in any American city. You'll find plenty of housefraus who don't need to work.
I can think of one lady from area. She doesn't work because Daddy left her $6.2 billion.

The states that use public assistance the most are all in the south.
I think in New Jersey where I live it's common to have a lot of suburban stay at home moms. My mom doesn't have a real job, but she only works on call and during the school year only. She literally wasted years in college up to 29 years old for nothing if she doesn't want to work. My dad works and has a full time job. My mom literally sits home and does nothing otherwise, not even hobbies.
Our generation can't put up with women like this. Generation X sucks. Everyone just marries for convenience, just to curse at each other, and just for the bride to stay home and do nothing their entire life.
I know a lot of housewives, but all of them went to college. Even decades ago, many housewives-to-be attended college, if only to find a guy. A lot easier to find a partner in college than sitting at your parent's house.
Any other housewife I can think of would marry someone during or immediately after high school.
The more important point though, is that what you speak of is a dangerous path for someone to rely on, financially speaking. If this woman you mention is not able to find a man who can support her fully, she will be sitting at home with her parents with absolutely no work experience to list on a resume. Back in the 1950s, the average worker usually made enough to support an entire family. Now things are far more uncertain, and it is an incredibly extreme risk to bank everything on finding a man.
So I guess to answer your question: it'll be an area wherever there are plenty of well-paid single men who are looking to be married, while simultaneously being an area where women are discouraged from pursuing a career.
The sense I got from spending a little time living near a small town (~5000 people) in a semi-rural area is that some women found someone when they were just out of high school, and they started to make a family. I guess that comes close.
My wife said so many of her college friends were after their MRS degree. Count Louisiana in as so many professional and many tradesmen have wives who are stay at home Moms.
