Banning, California
Banning is a city of 31,000 people in Riverside County just off Highway 10, about 30 miles west of Palm Springs. Banning borders Beaumont and has grown as the inland empire expanded during the construction boom, and people seeking cheaper housing within California helped populate the city.
I have been helping individual debtors from Banning and across Southern California for nearly 20 years. I specialize in Chapters 7 and Chapter 13, Bankruptcies and Debt Settlement, Foreclosure, and Wage Garnishment. My firm has offices in San Clemente, Riverside, and Palm Desert. I serve clients in Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Los Angeles Counties.

History of Banning
The Cahuilla Indians were the area's original inhabitants and had stressed relations with the settlers over water rights. Incorporated in 1913, Banning was initially named Moore City but was later renamed in honor of Phineas Banning, known as the "Father of the Port of Los Angeles." The city's early history includes significant influence from the Cahuilla and Serrano peoples. Banning played a notable role during the Colorado River Gold Rush and experienced growth with the advent of railroads and highways.
Geography of Banning
Geographically, Banning is situated in the San Gorgonio Pass and is characterized by its higher elevation than other parts of Riverside County, lending it a cooler climate. The San Andreas Fault impacted the city, which shaped the region's landscape. Banning's climate is classified as a warm-summer Mediterranean climate.
Economics of Banning
According to the US Census Bureau, Banning has a median income of around $29,000, far below the average income for a single person in California. The median household income is only $54,000, with an average of 2.67 people per home. The low median income allows many to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy presumptively. Close to 20% of people in banning are below the poverty line. Bankruptcy can help people of many income levels if they struggle to pay their debts but want to keep their homes. The median home value in Banning is $297,000, making most homes below the exemption levels allowed in California Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can be a great way to get a fresh start with debtors who have a challenging financial situation due to the job market, the housing market, or just overspending on credit cards. On average, the commuters in Banning travel 28 minutes to work, meaning the cost of transportation is a significant part of every working family's budget.
