The 10 Worst Grand Prairie Suburbs To Live For 2023

We’ll get the ball rolling with Hutchins, the absolute worst place to live around Grand Prairie according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Hutchins beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the worst in the Grand Prairie area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 2nd worst when it comes to home values.

But hey, at least it’s cheap to live there. But there’s a reason for that… it’s Hutchins.

You won’t feel bad about not having a great income for the area. There aren’t a bunch of places to spend your money anyway.

This city is 27.7 miles to Grand Prairie. Income levels here are the 11th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $59,950 a year, which only goes so far even on a shoestring budget.

But on the bright side, there are a lot of fast food joints in the area.

Back up the highway we go for the third worst Grand Prairie suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Everman on here. While the cost of living is low, your entertainment and work options are limited. And that’s an understatement.

In terms of numbers, it’s in the worst 15% for insurance, and the adult high school dropout rate is poor compared to other Grand Prairie suburbs.

But at least there are lovely parks to bring the kids during the day.
