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.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — An ‘imposter nurse’ in Las Cruces is facing 34 charges after nearly causing the death of a patient and illegally giving medications to patients under 18 years old.
A Doña Ana County grand jury indicted Margarita Gonzalez. She is accused of assuming the identities of nurses in Texas to get hired at four nursing facilities in Las Cruces:
- Village at Northrise
- Las Cruces Wellness and Rehabilitation
- Peak Behavioral Health
- Matrix Home Care
The New Mexico Department of Justice’s Medicaid Fraud and Elder Abuse Bureau investigated and discovered instances where Gonzalez illegally gave injections and dispensed prescriptions, including narcotics to eight inpatient residents under 18 years old.
An investigation also found Gonzalez was also about to allegedly give “an incorrect insulin dose” to a patient that they claim could’ve killed the patient if another nurse hadn’t caught the error.
Several facilities fired Gonzalez over patient safety concerns and an observed lack of knowledge.
“Impersonating a healthcare provider is a reckless and selfish crime that subjects those most vulnerable to risk of serious injury or death,” Attorney General Raúl Torrez said. “I will not tolerate those who risk the safety of patients or cause danger and unnecessary confusion within the healthcare system. These charges should keep anyone attempting to pose as a healthcare provider on notice: we will find you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law to protect New Mexicans.”
Gonzalez’s charges include identity theft, nursing without a license, abuse of a resident, distribution of controlled substances to a minor and fraud totaling over $25,000.
If convicted on all counts, Gonzalez could face up to 100 years in prison.
