The tutoring company surveyed dozens of cities, asking people questions like how often residents witness others committing rude acts, how they perceive native residents versus transplants, and more. Preply applied scores to responses that indicated a higher frequency of rudeness and calculated the average score for each city. Finally, scores were adjusted on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 representing the rudest.
Jacksonville got a total score of 8.05 out of 10.
The city with the highest rudeness score in America IS Miami. It scored 9.88.
Preply found that “lack of awareness in public, loudness in shared places, and rudeness to service staff members are just some of the behaviors that branded Miami” as the rudest.
