Looking for a place where you would feel comfortable asking to borrow that cup of sugar? Look no further than Raleigh, North Carolina. Neighbor.com just unveiled their list of The Top 10 Most Neighborly Cities and Raleigh came in at 9th place. How did they draw this conclusion?
The company poured over data on charitable givings, rates of volunteer work, as well as crime statistics. The website said this helped them determine “the core values of unity and neighborliness that make a city truly great”. So if Raleigh was 9, which city do they consider the most friendly in the United States.
According to Neighbor.com Madison, Wisconsin is the most neighborly.Wisconsin’s tourism secretary, Anne Sayers tells the website, “We couldn’t be happier that Madison has earned the title of America’s most neighborly city. This recognition is a reflection of the warm, supportive, and proactive community spirit that doesn’t just reside in Madison but is the heartbeat of all of Wisconsin.” The top two activities that neighborly people enjoy are park gatherings or a simple block party.
