The 10 Worst Garland Suburbs For 2023

The 10 Worst Garland Suburbs To Live For 2023

We’ll get the ball rolling with Hutchins, the absolute worst place to live around Garland 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 Garland 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.

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

This city is 18.4 miles to Garland. Income levels here are the 8th 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 Garland suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Balch Springs 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 Garland suburbs.

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

If you live in Wilmer, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 6th lowest Garland suburb for median household incomes.

Wilmer is about 21.7 miles to downtown.

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

Combine has an unemployment rate of 6.81% which ranks 10th worst.

Terrell has 17,083 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, Lancaster. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Garland.

It’s the place with the 8th most out of work residents in the Garland metro area (7.08%).

Kaufman is a city about 29.4 miles from Garland, but Garland probably wishes it was further away. It ranks as the 8th worst burb for 2018.

Homes only cost $114,000 for a reason. That’s cheap for Garland standards.

Rounding out the ten worst Garland suburbs to call home is Ferris.

Located 25.9 miles outside the city, Ferriss is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 67th highest unemployment rate (0.68%), and poverty is far above the area average.
