This Colorado City Is Among The Most Neighborly Cities In The Country

After spending over a year in lockdowns, Americans are looking to connect with each other again. Whether it's revisiting old relationships or establishing new ones, a sense of community is more valuable than ever.

Every state and city has its own ways of making people feel safe and welcome, but some go above and beyond, according to a recent study by OfferUp. Analysts looked at data and ratings from their millions of users to determine the most neighborly states and cities in the United States.

But what makes a city neighborly? Researchers say communicativeness, friendliness, generosity, honesty, punctuality, and reliability.

Coming in the No. 7 spot, residents of the Mile High City showed themselves to be compassionate and willing to help each other during an unprecedented time. What makes this even more interesting is that Colorado was also among the Top 10 most neighborly states.

Here were the Top 10 U.S. cities:

1. Seattle-Tacoma, Washington
