The 10 Worst Glendale Suburbs For 2022

The 10 Worst Glendale Suburbs To Live For 2022

We'll get the ball rolling with Huntington Park, the absolute worst place to live around Glendale according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Huntington Park beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 3rd worst in the Glendale area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 9th 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 Huntington Park.

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

This city is 19.9 miles to Glendale. Income levels here are the 14th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $58,703 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 Glendale suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Cudahy 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 Glendale suburbs.

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

If you live in Palmdale, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 24th lowest Glendale suburb when it comes to residents making money.

Not only that, but this is the 12th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Glendale. Remember, we looked at 82 cities for this study.

Palmdale is about 29.4 miles to downtown.

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

All snarkiness aside, Lynwood has the 7th lowest home values in the metro Glendale area, where the median price is $422,200. To put that into perspective, in Hermosa Beach, the median income is $250,001, which is the best in the area.

Lynwood has an unemployment rate of 9.68% which ranks 2nd worst.

Bell Gardens has 41,770 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 26.62392645457845%.

Ah, Bell. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Glendale.

It's the place with the 9th most out of work residents in the Glendale metro area (7.63%).

Commerce is a city about 14.0 miles from Glendale, but Glendale 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. Commerce has the 7th most uninsured people, 8th worst incomes, and has the 4highest unemployment rate (5.56%) in the entire Glendale metro area.

Homes only cost $429,800 for a reason. That's cheap for Glendale standards.

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

About 6.81% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Glendale suburbs to call home is South Gate.

Located 16.7 miles outside the city, South Gates is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 4th highest unemployment rate (8.83%), and poverty is far above the area average.
