Good neighbors can be like a second family. They are
always there when you need them. But like the old cliché, you can pick your
neighbors.
Neighbor.com has
made it a little easier by identifying the most neighborly cities in America.
In celebration of National Neighbor Day (September 28),
Neighbor.com unveils the results of its fifth annual “Most Neighborly
Cities in America” ranking.
To establish the grading criteria, Neighbor surveyed
1,000 individuals on how they define neighborliness. The most common factors
included charitable contributions, volunteer participation and community
engagement.
Claiming the top spots as the “Most Neighborly
City in America” by metro area are:
Seattle, WA
(Large City). Seattle’s high charitable giving, voter turnout, and
innovative community programs propelled it to the top of the large cities
category. Despite recent narratives, Seattle’s violent crime rate is
middle of the pack for large cities which led to only a small impact on
its overall ranking.Colorado
Springs, CO (Medium City). Taking the top overall winner and
medium-sized metro for 2024. Colorado Springs stands out for its packed
community event calendar as well as its high rankings in both volunteerism
and voter turnout.Provo, UT
(Small City). The winner for small cities. Provo’s strong commitment
to the community is clear from its emphatic support of local businesses
and volunteer programs.
“In a time where social media often amplifies our
differences, real-world neighborliness is making a surprising comeback,” said
Joseph Woodbury, CEO of Neighbor. “Our data shows that despite the
divisive narratives we often hear, Americans are actually craving and creating
stronger local communities. This is especially crucial during this polarizing
election season when loneliness and division seem to be on the rise. At
Neighbor, we’re all about building a network of community thinkers who are
willing to help their neighbors in small and meaningful ways.”
