The 10 Worst Irving Suburbs For 2022

The 10 Worst Irving Suburbs To Live For 2022

We'll get the ball rolling with Hutchins, the absolute worst place to live around Irving 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 Irving area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 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 Balch Springs. Home to KMart, Big Lots, and a lot of gas stations.

This city is 22.7 miles to Irving. Income levels here are the 5th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $52,696 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 Irving suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Seagoville 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 Irving suburbs.

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

If you live in Forest Hill, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 2nd lowest Irving suburb when it comes to residents making money.

Not only that, but this is the 2nd worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Irving. Remember, we looked at 86 cities for this study.

Forest Hill is about 21.9 miles to downtown.

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

All snarkiness aside, Everman has the 4th lowest home values in the metro Irving area, where the median price is $104,900. To put that into perspective, in Highland Park, the median income is $247,716, which is the best in the area.

Everman has an unemployment rate of 11.87% which ranks worst.

Wilmer has 4,698 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 19.499885294792378%.

Ah, Sansom Park. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Irving.

It's the place with the 17th most out of work residents in the Irving metro area (5.94%).

Lancaster is a city about 21.6 miles from Irving, but Irving 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. Lancaster has the 40th most uninsured people, 12th worst incomes, and has the 13th highest unemployment rate (6.5%) in the entire Irving metro area.

Homes only cost $154,900 for a reason. That's cheap for Irving standards.

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

About 5.0% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Irving suburbs to call home is Blue Mound.

Located 21.4 miles outside the city, Blue Mounds is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 18th highest unemployment rate (5.94%), and poverty is far above the area average.
