The 10 Worst McKinney Suburbs For 2023

The 10 Worst McKinney Suburbs To Live For 2023

We’ll get the ball rolling with Leonard, the absolute worst place to live around McKinney according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Leonard beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the worst in the McKinney 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 Leonard.

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

This city is 21.9 miles to McKinney. Income levels here are the 5th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $60,536 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 McKinney suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Pilot Point 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 McKinney suburbs.

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

If you live in Dallas, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 3rd lowest McKinney suburb for median household incomes.

Not only that, but this is the 13th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near McKinney. Remember, we looked at 53 cities for this study.

Dallas is about 28.5 miles to downtown.

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

All snarkiness aside, Sherman has the 3rd lowest home values in the metro McKinney area, where the median price is $157,900. The median income is $247,045.

Sherman has an unemployment rate of 3.45% which ranks 35th worst.

Garland has 245,075 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 12.74494942252777%.

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

It’s the place with the 17th most out of work residents in the McKinney metro area (4.44%).

Denton is a city about 27.4 miles from McKinney, but McKinney 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. Denton has the 17th most uninsured people, 7th worst incomes, and has the 14th highest unemployment rate (5.13%) in the entire McKinney metro area.

Homes only cost $257,500 for a reason. That’s cheap for McKinney standards.

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

About 3.93% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst McKinney suburbs to call home is Anna.

Located 12.3 miles outside the city, Annas is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 48th highest unemployment rate (2.1%), and poverty is far above the area average.
