The difference between citizenship and residency of a state can mean different things in different situations. It can be difficult to determine which state a person is a citizen of, although residency requirements for many things in many states are one year. Generally, though, citizenship of a state implicates the ability to vote or run for office there and the responsibility to pay taxes in that state.

Added: Unequivocally - citizenship of a country is the higher value of the two.

Proof for residency requirement is a requirement when applying for US citizenship. Minimum for 3 months you should have stayed at the location before which you are applying for citizenship. As a permanent resident you have the option to preserve your residency though for employment requirements you are outside US for more than a year using the N-470 form. The continuous physical residency in the US is preserved this way and helps you for naturalization process.

How do i change my citizenship from Delaware to California?

You don't. Your citizenship is with the United States so it is good in all 50 states. To change residency all you need to do is move. To have permanent residency in a state requires living in the state for 6 months. In California this means you get the state residency fees at a university or college instead of paying out of state fees. Your utility bills can establish residency for you and as a California resident you get other advantages, but whatever you earn means California taxes too.
