The 10 Worst Yonkers Suburbs For 2022

The 10 Worst Yonkers Suburbs To Live For 2022

We'll get the ball rolling with Newark, the absolute worst place to live around Yonkers according to the data.

And in the world of worst rankings, Newark beat the competition pretty handily thanks to scoring in the bottom 15% in three major categories. Income is the 3rd worst in the Yonkers area, and to make matters worse, the city ranks 9th 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 Newark.

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

This city is 14.9 miles to Yonkers. Income levels here are the 5th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $44,779 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 Yonkers suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Paterson 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 Yonkers suburbs.

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

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