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

And in the world of worst rankings, San Jacinto beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 3rd worst in the San Bernardino area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 5th 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 Jacinto.

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 San Bernardino suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Banning on here. While the cost of living is low, your entertainment and work options are limited. And that's an understatement.
