We’ll get the ball rolling with Opa Locka, the absolute worst place to live around Hialeah according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Opa Locka beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the worst in the Hialeah area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 4th 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 Opa Locka.

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.

This city is 11.4 miles to Hialeah. Income levels here are the 3rd lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $40,260 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 Hialeah suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Homestead 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 Hialeah suburbs.

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