Pew Research - About a quarter of U.S. adults (26%) say they know all or most of their neighbors. Another 62% know only some of them, and 12% don’t know any of them.
When it comes to trust, 44% of adults say they trust all or most of the people in their neighborhood. Another 46% trust some of the people in their neighborhood, while 9% trust none.
The shares of Americans who say they know and trust their neighbors have both decreased slightly in recent years. In 2018, 31% of Americans said they knew all or most of their neighbors, and 52% said in 2015 that they trusted all or most of their neighbors.
Some groups of Americans are more likely than others both to know all or most of their neighbors and to trust all or most of them:
- Those ages 50 and older
- White Americans
- Upper-income Americans
- People who live in rural or suburban areas
- Those who attend in-person religious services at least monthly
Republicans are also more likely than Democrats to know and trust their neighbors, but these differences are largely related to race and ethnicity, education level and other factors.
