Well, this might be the one thing New Yorkers aren't happy about losing!
For years, New York City has had a reputation for being one of the rudest places in America. But there's a new city sitting on top of the list, and apparently, the Big Apple has been knocked down a few spots.
Congratulations, Miami! You've officially been named America's rudest city!
A new study looked at several factors to determine which cities have the biggest attitude problem. Researchers examined the percentage of Yelp reviews mentioning rude behavior, rude comments about cities on Reddit, and online searches related to rudeness.
And the results? Miami grabbed the number-one spot with a rudeness score of 94.11.
Here's the complete Top 10:
-
Miami, Florida
-
Las Vegas, Nevada
-
Memphis, Tennessee
-
Oakland, California
-
New York City
-
Newark, New Jersey
-
Detroit, Michigan
-
Orlando, Florida
-
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
-
Los Angeles, California
That's right, Detroit made the Top 10, coming in at number seven. So apparently, Michigan drivers aren't the only ones getting a reputation for having a little attitude!
New York City dropped all the way to fifth, which means residents have apparently lost their crown. We're guessing there are a few people in Manhattan who aren't exactly saying "thank you" for that news.
Of course, this is based on online reviews, comments, and search activity, not a scientific personality test for everyone who lives in these cities.
Still, we're curious: Do you think Detroit deserves its spot at number seven? And which city do YOU think has the rudest people?
Here in Michigan, we'll let you answer that one. Just try to be polite about it!
