Miami has been ranked as the least neighborly city in America, according to a study by AmeriCorps using U.S. Census Bureau data. The study evaluated the 12 biggest metropolitan cities in the U.S. based on informal and formal volunteering, with Miami coming in last for "informal helping." Only 35.5% of Miami residents were willing to help their fellow residents outside of an organizational context. The study found that Baby Boomers were the generation most likely to help their neighbors, and veterans helped their neighbors at a rate of 59%, eight percentage points higher than non-veterans.
