The 10 Worst Fort Worth Suburbs For 2022

The 10 Worst Fort Worth Suburbs To Live For 2022

We'll get the ball rolling with Forest Hill, the absolute worst place to live around Fort Worth according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Forest Hill beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 2nd worst in the Fort Worth area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 5th 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 Forest Hill.

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

This city is 11.2 miles to Fort Worth. Income levels here are the 3rd lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $48,007 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 Fort Worth suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Cleburne 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 Fort Worth suburbs.

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

If you live in Reno, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 14th lowest Fort Worth suburb when it comes to residents making money.

Not only that, but this is the 8th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Fort Worth. Remember, we looked at 60 cities for this study.

Reno is about 17.2 miles to downtown.

Sansom Park has the distinction of being a Fort Worth suburb. Which means that's about all it has going for it.

Sansom Park has an unemployment rate of 5.94% which ranks 12th worst.

White Settlement has 17,716 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.)

Rounding out the ten worst Fort Worth suburbs to call home is Duncanville.

Located 26.8 miles outside the city, Duncanvilles is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 4th highest unemployment rate (9.05%), and poverty is far above the area average.
