Ranking U.S. States from Least to Most Rude

Wisconsin’s Midwestern charm and strong community ties influence its ranking. Residents tip an average of 16.5%, and 3% of drivers are noted for discourteous behavior, particularly in Milwaukee. The state’s emphasis on hard work and practicality can sometimes come across as aloofness or impatience.

However, Wisconsinites are known for their friendliness and hospitality, especially in rural areas and small towns. The state’s rich food, music, and celebration traditions often leave visitors with positive impressions despite occasional brusqueness.
