The 10 Worst Cincinnati Suburbs For 2022

The 10 Worst Cincinnati Suburbs To Live For 2022

We'll get the ball rolling with Aurora, the absolute worst place to live around Cincinnati according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Aurora beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 6th worst in the Cincinnati area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 12th 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 Aurora.

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 New Miami. Home to KMart, Big Lots, and a lot of gas stations.

This city is 20.2 miles to Cincinnati. Income levels here are the 14th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $43,867 a year, which doesn't go a long ways 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 Cincinnati suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Lockland 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 drop out rate is poor compared to other Cincinnati suburbs.

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

If you live in Bethel, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 5th lowest Cincinnati suburb when it comes to residents making money.

Not only that, but this is the 13th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Cincinnati. Remember, we looked at 75 cities for this study.

Bethel is about 25.7 miles to downtown.

Middletown has the distinction of being a Cincinnati suburb. Which means that's about all it has going for it.

All snarkiness aside, Middletown has the 10th lowest home values in the metro Cincinnati area, where the median price is $105,100. To put that into perspective, in Mariemont, the median income is $176,563, which is the best in the area.

Middletown has an unemployment rate of 6.4% which ranks 22nd worst.

Batavia has 2,266 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 32.131495227995764%.

Ah, Elmwood Place. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Cincinnati.

It's the place with the 50th most out of work residents in the Cincinnati metro area (2.65%).

Covington is a city about 7.3 miles from Cincinnati, but Cincinnati 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. Covington has the 9th most uninsured people, 16th worst incomes, and has the 20th highest unemployment rate (6.54%) in the entire Cincinnati metro area.

Homes only cost $120,100 for a reason. That's cheap for Cincinnati standards.

If you absolutely have to live near Cincinnati, then Williamsburg might be a place for you to consider as it's only the 9th worst Cincinnati suburb.

About 4.16% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Cincinnati suburbs to call home is Hamilton.

Located 17.8 miles outside the city, Hamiltons is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 19th highest unemployment rate (6.68%), and poverty is far above the area average.
