25. Spokane
Self-storage company Neighbor has released its annual countdown of the 25 American cities that are the most neighborly. To determine neighborliness, they looked at factors like charitable giving, generosity and well-being. But in 2022 several cultural changes including the pandemic changed Neighbor.com's findings. Post-Covid factors like higher gas and airline prices mean people have tended to socialize with their neighbors more often. And with so many Americans still reeling from the economic effects of Covid, many are more anxious to help a neighbor in need or to support local businesses. And finally, despite news reports about America's political divisiveness, it turns out that neighbors in these 25 cities are more likely to forget political differences and take their fellow residents as they are.
Read on for Neighbor's ranking of the most neighborly cities in the country. We think you'll be very surprised by their findings.
