The 10 Worst Ontario Suburbs For 2023

The 10 Worst Ontario Suburbs To Live For 2023

We’ll get the ball rolling with Hesperia, the absolute worst place to live around Ontario according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Hesperia beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 4th worst in the Ontario area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 3rd 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 Hesperia.

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.

Welcome to San Bernardino. Home to KMart, Big Lots, and a lot of gas stations.

This city is 19.1 miles to Ontario. Income levels here are the lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $55,372 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 Ontario suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Perris 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 Ontario suburbs.

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

If you live in Rialto, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 14th lowest Ontario suburb for median household incomes.

Not only that, but this is the worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Ontario. Remember, we looked at 75 cities for this study.

Rialto is about 13.3 miles to downtown.

Colton has the distinction of being a Ontario suburb. Which means that’s about all it has going for it.

All snarkiness aside, Colton has the 5th lowest home values in the metro Ontario area, where the median price is $325,800. The median income is $181,591.

Colton has an unemployment rate of 7.36% which ranks 10th worst.

Montclair has 37,871 residents that probably know it’s a pretty crummy place to live when you look at the data. (Or, if you’ve ever been there, you don’t need to look at the data.)

Incomes are towards the bottom, and the poverty rate sits at 17.779793022511466%.

Ah, Moreno Valley. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Ontario.

It’s the place with the 6th most out of work residents in the Ontario metro area (8.04%).

Highland is a city about 25.6 miles from Ontario, but Ontario probably wishes it was further away. It ranks as the 8th worst burb for 2018.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a worse place to live. Highland has the 15th most uninsured people, 13th worst incomes, and has the 30th highest unemployment rate (6.3%) in the entire Ontario metro area.

Homes only cost $356,700 for a reason. That’s cheap for Ontario standards.

If you absolutely have to live near Ontario, then Jurupa Valley might be a place for you to consider as it’s only the 9th worst Ontario suburb.

About 7.21% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Ontario suburbs to call home is Pomona.

Located 9.1 miles outside the city, Pomonas is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 25th highest unemployment rate (6.57%), and poverty is far above the area average.
