The Rudest States In America
To many people, it probably isn’t surprising that Minnesota is ranked at the bottom of this list. It’s just not in Minnesotan nature to be rude. Best Life had them at the bottom of state rankings for general unfriendliness, as well as 48th for rude customers. The percentage of that state that was considered rude wasn’t even over one percent. The overall “Rudeness Score” given was a big, fat zero. Although, it was determined that the rudest city was Minneapolis-St. Paul.
South Carolina is a lot more rude than Minnesota. But that’s not exactly saying they’re that rude. South Carolinians are pretty polite overall. Their unfriendly and rude customer rank were 48th and 47th respectively. And their percentage of rude drivers was only 2.1. The overall rudeness score Best Life gave them was 2.31.
Best Life had another small jump in the rankings, this time between South Carolina to Louisiana. It ranked 39th in terms of generally, unfriendly citizens. But it also ranked 49th for rude customers. It was determined that the rudest city in Louisiana was (and this may not surprise many people) New Orleans. Its overall rudeness score was 7.02.
Mississippi’s another one of the friendlier states, but there’s been another small jump in the level of unfriendliness. They have a general unfriendly ranking of 28, but their number of rude customers are ranked 47th. The percentage of the population that are notably rude drivers are only 1.3 percent as well. Best Life determined that their overall rudeness score was 10.04.

Their percentage of rude drivers was also only 2.1. And the percentage of the state as a whole considered rude was only 0.5 percent. It was determined that the rudest cities in Tennessee were Nashville and Memphis. Considering their popularity and size, that seems to match up.
Hawaii’s a state for vacationing and relaxing. It doesn’t even have a rudest city. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t rude people that live there. Its percentage of rude drivers according to Best Life was 3.9 percent. And it was ranked 41st for general unfriendliness. It did rank at the bottom of rude customers though.

The rudest city in Colorado was also believed to be Denver.
Vermont’s well-known for its generally peaceful vibe. They may not be at the bottom of the list, but 43rd overall isn’t that bad. Their rude customer ranking was 45th, but they had a surprisingly high unfriendly rank at 17th. Albeit, their percentage of rude drivers was only 1.5 percent. Best Life determined their overall rudeness score to be 20.59.
You’d probably expect a state the size of Texas to be a bit more rude. But overall, things are pretty relaxed. Albeit, it has four cities that are considered equally rude, that being Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. It has a moderate ranking for rude customers at 24th, but its general unfriendliness ranking was 47th. The percentage of the state considered rude, as well as the percentage of rude drivers, was 1.1 percent and 2.1 percent respectively. Best Life gave Texas an overall rudeness score of 21.1.
