You Won’t Believe Which New Mexico City Made the Rudest Cities List

According to a new survey from Preply, they revealed the rudest cities in the United States in 2024; one of them is found in New Mexico. Thankfully for the Land of Enchantment, only one of their cities made the list but…it was quite high so don’t be TOO happy about it.

Which New Mexico city is the rudest in America?

On a “rudeness scale” from 1-10, they found that Albuquerque, New Mexico made their top 10 rudest cities at #11. Albuquerque had a rudeness rating of 8.11. While it didn’t crack the top 10, it WAS tied with the #10 city which was Charlotte, North Carolina. The top 3 cities according to their survey were Miami, Florida, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & Tampa, Florida.

Why is Albuquerque considered to be so rude? A number of factors come into play according to Preply. These are the most common factors listed:

• People aren’t self-aware of their surroundings,
• People love to talk loudly on their phones, blast music/videos,
• A lack of caring for others.
• Closing off to strangers while being on their phones & their use of body language
• And by being dirty & non-hygienic.

However if you ask people online, they’ll actually say the opposite and say that Albuquerque is one of the NICEST places you can live in America. Of course there are some neighborhoods that are bad, like in many other major cities, so obviously the answer depends on who you to talk to.

It shouldn’t come as no surprise that this same survey from Preply, that a few cities from Texas made their “rudest cities” list. You can find out which ones made the list here.
