The Neighbor app just released its second annual ranking of the “Most Neighborly Cities in America.” They consider a bunch of things, including charitable giving, nonprofit organizations, volunteering rates, happiness rankings, and most importantly, “neighborly behaviors,”.
This year, Madison ranked #1, partially because it ranked #1 as the happiest city in America, and it also leads the nation in donations to nonprofits.
Rochester, New York was second, followed by Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Des Moines, Iowa, Washington, D.C, Boston, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee, which is a 90-minute drive from Madison.
Indianapolis came in at #20 on the list.
