Miami has taken the top rank as the rudest city in the United States, according to a survey published by Manhattan Mental Health Counseling. The New York Post reported that the study evaluated 70 American cities to determine the rankings based on overall public dissatisfaction and complaints. [1]

The study evaluated online complaints, discussions on Reddit, Yelp reviews, and internet search queries connected to boorish behavior. Manhattan Mental Health Counseling processed the data into composite scores ranging from zero to rank each location. [1]

Las Vegas finished second in the nationwide ranking, followed by Memphis in third place and Oakland in fourth place. New York City, which historically held a reputation for impolite behavior, ranked fifth in the new survey. [1]

The sports rivalries between Miami and New York include the long-standing contest between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets in the National Football League. Oakland previously hosted baseball hall of fame outfielder Rickey Henderson, who played for the Oakland Athletics across four separate tenures. [2][3]
