With a population of just under 54,000, Colton is no bustling metropolis. The city's railroad history has left a legacy of bureaucratic headaches, as evidenced by the infamous Colton Crossing debacle. While the sunny Mediterranean climate is pleasant, the area's high poverty rate of 15.3% suggests this working-class suburb of San Bernardino may not be the best fit for those seeking an easy, carefree life abroad. Ultimately, Colton appears better suited for those with a high tolerance for red tape and an appreciation for the grittier side of Southern California.
