#27: Nebraska

Average tip: 16.7%

Percentage of rude drivers: 3%

Nebraska’s friendly reputation takes a slight hit due to its ranking here. Residents tip an average of 16.7%, and 3% of drivers exhibit rude habits, particularly in Omaha and Lincoln. While Nebraskans are known for their down-to-earth nature and community pride, the rapid growth of urban areas has introduced some stressors.

Visitors to smaller towns often experience genuine warmth and hospitality rooted in the state’s agricultural traditions. However, in busier settings, interactions might feel rushed or less personable. Nebraska’s ranking highlights the contrasts between its rural charm and urban pressures.
