#4: Iowa

Rudeness score: 64.19

Rudest cities: N/A

Iowa’s rudeness is measured at 64.19, surprisingly lacking rude cities by name. The ‘Iowa Nice’ notion seems to falter in multicultural interactions. Notorious for impolite drivers and customers, a local Mexican eatery beseeched patrons for respect in a social plea.

Reddit user You_Artistic critiques ‘Iowa Nice’ as a mask for passive-aggressive behavior. Instead of direct confrontation, Iowans allegedly prefer dropping hints, a practice that muddies the waters of genuine politeness and consideration.
