The 10 Worst Pomona Suburbs

The 10 Worst Pomona Suburbs To Live For 2024

We’ll get the ball rolling with San Bernardino, the absolute worst place to live around Pomona according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, San Bernardino beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 8th worst in the Pomona area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 3rd 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 San Bernardino.

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

This city is 26.7 miles to Pomona. Income levels here are the 3rd lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $54,073 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 Pomona 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 dropout rate is poor compared to other Pomona suburbs.

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

If you live in Colton, most likely you struggle to make ends meet every month. It ranks as the 10th lowest Pomona suburb for median household incomes.

Not only that, but this is the 14th worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Pomona. Remember, we looked at 93 cities for this study.

Colton is about 24.9 miles to downtown.

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

All snarkiness aside, Compton has the 8th lowest home values in the metro Pomona area, where the median price is $584,418. The median income is $189,306.

Compton has an unemployment rate of 7.94% which ranks 9th worst.

Rialto has 103,873 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 13.009910005909193%.

Ah, Lynwood. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Pomona.

It’s the place with the 2nd most out of work residents in the Pomona metro area (9.64%).

South El Monte is a city about 16.4 miles from Pomona, but Pomona 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. South El Monte has the 14th most uninsured people, 14th worst incomes, and has the 24th highest unemployment rate (6.74%) in the entire Pomona metro area.

Homes only cost $697,787 for a reason. That’s cheap for Pomona standards.

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

About 6.53% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Pomona suburbs to call home is Bell Gardens.

Located 23.4 miles outside the city, Bell Gardenss is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 43rd highest unemployment rate (5.75%), and poverty is far above the area average.
