Having neighbors you can call for a cup of sugar or some eggs are the kind of neighbors we all aspire to be and hope to live near. So if you're looking to move and want to live in an area with neighbors that fit that description, you're in luck.

In honor of Good Neighbor Day, a day to acknowledge and celebrate the good neighbors around you, OfferUp, an online marketplace, released a report where they analyzed American cities and states to find which were the friendliest to live in.

To find which cities were the most neighborly, OfferUp used user meet-ups and sales data from August 2020 to July 2021. They judged each city on six key traits which included, "communicativeness, friendliness, generosity, honesty, punctuality and reliability."

So, which Michigan areas landed on the list of the most neighborly cities in America?

Detroit ranked No. 27 out of 50 and the Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek area ranked a little lower landing at No. 48 of America's most neighborly cities.

According to the report, here are the top 10 most neighborly cities in America:

  1. Seattle-Tacoma, Washington
  2. San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose, California
  3. Los Angeles, California
  4. Miami - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
