My 2002 Subaru Forester has rust and calcium-like build-up in strange spots in the undercarriage, around the gas cap, and on the exhaust manifold (among others). I bought it from a dealer. The original owner lived in upstate New York. I live the Pacific Northwest. Is this typical for vehicles in the Northeast?

maybe the previous owner treated it more like an off-road SUV than an on-road vehicle. Also, the salt and sand put down in the winter for snowstorms does damage to cars and ages them faster. Maybe the previous owner wasn't as religious about washing the car as you are as well?
