29. Montebello, California

Montebello makes it to this list because it is just naturally hard to live in. It has an incredibly harsh and oppressively hot climate, often being hit with water shortages. The city has over 14% of its population living in poverty, while another 19% does not have health insurance. Also, affordable housing is pretty hard with experts in the field, noting how hard it may be for first-time buyers to access housing. The average commute time is 33 minutes.
