Looking to make a change and maybe a move? Well three Pennsylvania cities were named the most neighborly in the country.
Neighbor Blog has released their annual ranking of the “Most Neighborly Cities in America.”
Three PA cities made the list. Unfortunately no Delaware towns made the top 25.
Rochester, New York was ranked the most neighborly city in America according to the blog.
Rochester was described “As a city that offers plenty to do in its bustling neighborhoods, all nestled among nature preserves and county parks, Rochester is known by locals to be a place where residents love to live and never hesitate to lend a hand to their neighbors.”
The blogs research is based on ” a variety of publicly available data sets related to charitable giving, generosity, happiness and well-being of residents, and other factors we think contribute to a city’s overall neighborliness” according to their website.
According to their study Neighbor Blog went right to the source: Neighbors! They asked about their neighborly habits and found:
- Proximity makes the heart grow fonder. Because of higher prices at the gas pump and more expensive plane tickets, nearly 30% of people say they hang out with their neighbors and local friends more than they used to.
- You’ve got a friend in me. After enduring more than two brutal years of pandemic conditions and a tumultuous economy, 42.5% of people are more willing than before to help out a neighbor, and 41% are choosing to support small businesses over national chains.
- Republicans, democrats, and independents unite. Despite a big (and seemingly divisive) election this year, 45% of people recognize that their neighbors have different political affiliations than their own, but choose to be neighborly anyway.
