This is the most friendly state of the US

Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name and friendly condition might simply be.


In 2020, you heard the phrase "America has never been more divided" time and time. These days, it may seem particularly difficult to findconviviality towards its neighbors, even less foreign. But some parts of the country are warmer andmore welcoming than others. To find out where you are more likely to get a wave and a smile rather than a cry and a horn, we have gathered statistics - four in particular - to determine the most friendly state of all. And for the other side of this coin,It is the nested state of the United States.

We started with the reportchange of population in each state Over the last decade, according to the United States Census Bureau, determine that States welcomed that more residents than they lost were more user-friendly than others. We also took into account in theFriendly ranking According to Big 7, traveling, which attracted the results of the recent survey of their 2.5 million social media followers. Third, we examined the number ofVolunteer Opportunities for 100,000 peopleAccording to Voluntematch, which reflects the spirit "of the community" of a state. And finally, we examined what could be considered the opposite of "community spirit", eachviolent crime rate of the state, according to the latest FBI data. When it is put through our algorithm, we determined a friendly index score for each state. The lower the score, the most friendly you can expect that state to be.

And it turns out, themore sympathetic of them could surprise you. It has a large number of volunteer opportunities per capita over 13 and its violent crime rate is quite low. But what really pushed this state at the top of the list in terms of its friendly factor is its population growth. You may not have heard thatPeople are doing in this stateBut his population quietly cultivated an impressive 14% over the last decade.

Looking at the scores, the most friendly states of the country manage the western western range in southwestern South - although it does not seem that northeastern states fear the top 10 of knowledge where your state falls in the process of classifying each state at least welcoming to the one where everyone can simply know your name. And for an area that you may want to avoid, discoverThis is the state where your money is worth the least.
