The 10 Worst Yonkers Suburbs For 2023

The 10 Worst Yonkers Suburbs To Live For 2023

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 10th 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 Paterson. Home to KMart, Big Lots, and a lot of gas stations.

This city is 15.6 miles to Yonkers. Income levels here are the 5th lowest in the metro area, where families bring in about $48,540 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 Yonkers suburb you can live in. You might have expected to see Passaic 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 Yonkers suburbs.

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

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

Not only that, but this is the 2nd worst unemployed suburb you can live in if you choose to live near Yonkers. Remember, we looked at 190 cities for this study.

East Orange is about 21.9 miles to downtown.

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

All snarkiness aside, Haverstraw has the 12th lowest home values in the metro Yonkers area, where the median price is $287,200. The median income is $250,001.

Haverstraw has an unemployment rate of 8.41% which ranks 18th worst.

East Newark has 3,021 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 20.376712328767127%.

Ah, Prospect Park. You rank as the 7th worst place to live around Yonkers.

It’s the place with the 27th most out of work residents in the Yonkers metro area (7.98%).

Hempstead is a city about 21.1 miles from Yonkers, but Yonkers 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. Hempstead has the 17th most uninsured people, 26th worst incomes, and has the 2highest unemployment rate (8.17%) in the entire Yonkers metro area.

Homes only cost $358,200 for a reason. That’s cheap for Yonkers standards.

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

About 5.8% of residents are out of work.

Rounding out the ten worst Yonkers suburbs to call home is Linden.

Located 29.4 miles outside the city, Lindens is a real pit when you look at the data. Its residents have the 28th highest unemployment rate (7.97%), and poverty is far above the area average.
