The 10 Worst Fontana Suburbs For 2023

The 10 Worst Fontana Suburbs To Live For 2023

We’ll get the ball rolling with Hesperia, the absolute worst place to live around Fontana 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 2nd worst in the Fontana 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 Victorville. Home to KMart, Big Lots, and a lot of gas stations.

This city is 29.6 miles to Fontana. Income levels here are the 4th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $61,206 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 Fontana suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see San Bernardino 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 Fontana suburbs.

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

If you live in Perris, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 11th lowest Fontana suburb for median household incomes.

Not only that, but this is the 13th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Fontana. Remember, we looked at 44 cities for this study.

Perris is about 26.0 miles to downtown.

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

Rialto has an unemployment rate of 10.09% which ranks 2nd worst.

Colton has 53,894 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.)

Ah, Montclair. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Fontana.

It’s the place with the 7th most out of work residents in the Fontana metro area (7.76%).

Jurupa Valley is a city about 7.3 miles from Fontana, but Fontana probably wishes it was further away. It ranks as the 8th worst burb for 2018.

Rounding out the ten worst Fontana suburbs to call home is Moreno Valley.

Located 19.5 miles outside the city, Moreno Valleys is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 6th highest unemployment rate (8.04%), and poverty is far above the area average.
