The “City of Brotherly Love” may be a misnomer, according to one recent survey naming Philadelphia the rudest city in America.
Language-learning app Preply, which released the survey in August, found that Philadelphia residents rank the rudeness of the average local as a 6.43 out of ten, with Memphis, Tennessee and New York City trailing behind. 70% of respondents also agreed with the statement “people who live in or around cities are ruder than people who live in rural areas.”
“Americans typically stereotype Philadelphians as rude, but locals tend to attribute their behavior to a feeling of insularity in the city,” the site’sreads. “Reluctant to incorporate outsiders, many residents have learned to keep to themselves while growing up in a busy city … residents born and raised in these cities have grown up accustomed to certain behaviors, which likely originated from the city’s culture itself.
