How many people do you know from your neighborhood

My neighbor's dog is named Chip and the guy a few houses down has a Husky named Luna.

That's all the names I can tell you from my block.

Depends how you define "know". That I can name?Probably between 50 and 60 at a guess, which is working on 1 in 3 houses. I walk every day, I have kids that play outside, and I am a primary email answerer and door knocker for the neighborhood.

That I would feel comfortable letting my dog out if I were away from home? Maybe 8 or 10.

i know one of my neighbors very well because he's a dipshit who can't keep to himself and calls the cops on people frequently and makes passive aggressive comments everytime you see him.

I also get to hear him fight with his daughter and his wife, which explains why he's always outside his house and never inside it. His wife is also a psycho who attacked me once when I was putting out the garbage.

I don't know any of my other neighbors, because they are decent folk that leave me alone.

To many all my neighbors are flag waving Trump supporters. I am glad to hear one is moving but he probably sell to another trumper. I want to move so badly but can't afford that right now.

One of my coworkers lives here, and there is a guy who works at the grocery store who always says hello to me. So, 2.

Rural area, I know all my immediate neighbours and a few people from the villages around. It's really great to be part of a small community, and since a lot of the original population emigrated the old folks around are generally really welcoming even to foreigners like me. I got so used to greeting everyone I sometimes confuse people in larger places with too much waving and smiling where it's not common.

I know all the people that live in the same floor as me, but I'm not friends with them.

I just moved to a new country but I already have a friendly relationship with neighbours on both sides, one being a family of 4, and the other is an old widow. All pretty lovely. ❤️👍

I used to live on quite a large cul-de-sac and we knew most of the people, it was a really good community. Four or five times a year, and at Halloween and Christmas, we’d have street parties and everyone would come out and the kids would tear around and we’d put up tables with drinks and snacks which everyone would contribute to, though there was no pressure to pitch in. The WhatsApp group was really active and would get approx 30 messages per day, usually just people giving stuff away or asking where there kids were. My wife is really anxious about our daughter going missing usually but on that street she would come home and the kids would be playing and she’d jump out of the car and run off, and my wife was fine with it. There was always someone looking after them. We had to move because we wanted to be closer to the school, and we were renting and our landlord was a real problem, but we still get invited to the parties.

Our new cul-de-sac is smaller and it’s not the same but we regularly speak to about a third of the street and know the other third enough to say hello. People just don’t hang out on the street here like they used to at the old street, it’s more of a back garden place.

Our (large, 2 parent 6 kid) family is friendly with nine other households in our neighborhood. Meaning their kids hang out with my kids and we know each other and talk semi frequently.

I live in a suburban development in South Carolina.

I walk the dog twice a day and meet local people also walking their dogs. Sometimes we stop and chat. I don’t know them well, but I recognise some of them by sight and know some of their names.

3 lol. kinda sad, really

I personally couldn't tell you a single one of their names. We might even be ostracized for some reason, but honestly I wouldn't know.

All of the adults in the surrounding area, some of the younger ones. In rural Japan, that's fairly normal, though.

Small Spanish town. I could call by their names at least 100 people, and I'm not particularly sociable.

Define "know". I know the woman downstairs from me and her dog. I know the couple actually the hall and their dog. They just had a baby and I don't know the name. I know the guy down the hall from me. He's a good guy. I know the woman down the hall the other way and the guy on the same side. The other two units are rented on and off. New people. I forgot the name of the two folks that just moved in. Haven't met the ones on the other side yet.

Knowing names and small things? Is that to know someone?

There are over a million people within 15km of me, so that's not much.

This is a rural area, so more than I'd like.

My neighbor on one side is 90+, nice fella with in-home carers. The other side are assholes who stole our grocery deliveries one time. Beyond that, no clue.

Guy next door is called Forest. He is a groundskeeper.

I could probably identify 3-4 people that are living in the same building. I wouldn't bet money, on it, though.

I don’t really know anyone here. I know some names. I’ll say hi to anyone I pass. People here seem to go for walks but seem to think it’s polite to cross the street if they see another person. Tbh, I would pick another place to live if everything else was the same and social climate was warmer.

I know almost everyone in the 6 houses adjacent to mine, and there are a few people that walk past daily that stop and talk when they see us outside.

Probably about 12-15 adults, and their kids, who play in our yard sometimes.

People? Some, but not a lot. Dogs, though? I recognize every dog on my street and know most of their names, even some of the ones I’ve never met lmao

2 in name and greeted.

Basically no one, all my friends live in a different part of the city.

We used to live in the same neighbourhood as children, but the housing scarcity really fragments people. Because everyone just takes whatever flat they can find and afford.

I know all the people in my apartment building and the members of my wind band. My city is smallll.

very little, many moved away since covid to somewhat lcol, mcol area. and its been reverse white flight/gentrification since, and these neighbors are far less pleasant or less than sociable compared to older ones that have lived here for decades, plus they are out of state transplant, and you display your typical karen neighbors.

I know the people to the left and right. Saying hi is fairly common for the rest of the community.

Several dozen? But I live in the city, so that's a fraction of my total neighbors.

Zero. I don't even know who lives in my building or floor. I have said "hello" to a couple of them, when they happened to be in the stairwell at the same time.

I've met two of my neighbors, but don't know them well. One might even have moved away- haven't seen her in months.

I have two friends that live nearby. Three if you stretch what's considered the neighborhood. All walking distance.

Maybe 60-80. I love Portland

0

I mean, we wave and say hi as we pass each other, but maybe only a couple to really talk to. (I'm not counting the woman a half mile from my house with whom I worked for several years; didn’t find out til later that she lives down the street.)

I know most of their dogs' names, though.

I know the people across the street and on either side of me.

I know all of them that have kids similar ages to my kids. I also have met one next door neighbor over the fence, but not as well since we have nothing in common. (the other houses around me are still under construction and so empty)

If you take the broadest definition of "know," like recognize their face and know their name and at least one other fact about them, maybe 200-300? I'm kinda a chatterbox, so I talk to a lot of strangers. My neighborhood is pretty big, though, so it's a rare day that I see more than a couple people I recognize.

These are the people in your neighborhood.

In your neighborhood.

In your neighborhooooood...

Once a year we throw a garden party, and my neighbors also have barbecues in our front yard from time to time and invite me over when I’m passing by. That’s why I know everyone in my building—it’s a pretty multicultural group of nice people.

I also know the neighbor in the apartment next door, since his balcony is at the same level—he’s a fellow Linux user, so we have something to chat about.

You can’t really say, though, that I’m friends with any of my neighbors. We just see each other every now and then and get along well. They’re all great people: tolerant, friendly, and nobody makes a scene out of anything (I used to have neighbors like that, which was really annoying).

All of them. I live in an 18 house neighborhood and we have an HOA meeting once a year and almost everyone comes

Depends on how you define “know”. There’s a neighborhood group chat so I’m familiar with the names of the most active folks and have chatted with some of them on DMs. I also “know” the neighbor across the street because I interact with them sometimes when we happen to be doing yardwork at the same time.

By name? More than half. By sight? Most of them. I do a daily walk of around 5 miles, and that has introduced me to almost everyone. There are a few older people that don't talk to me, but they are the exception.

I'm acquainted with most people in my stairwell. We great and have a little chat but that's about it. I know other dog people in the neighborhood, some that we meet up and give each other presents at times with homemade goodies. I've got my friends spread around the city and in other parts of the country or the world.

None. No time.

My next door neighbors on both sides, the ones across the street, two of my grown kids live in my neighborhood, my first Pokemon go friend does too, the beautiful family down the street, and the old Cuban guy with the old chihuahua, and the very talkative guy a block away.

So it's spotty I guess. Most of the people on our block I have at least waved to, and none are friends like that come over for supper, but are people I talk to in person and occasionally by text.

The other ones we are barely acquainted with but have nicknames for: pool table guy, cigar chewing guy with the beautiful custom house, depressed guy who doesn't mow and sits in his truck outside his falling down house, the hipsters (flying down the street on hoverboards, one with curly man bun the other with long blond hair flying in the wind) the New Yorkers, the crazy lady across the street who got in her car, pulled out of her driveway and into my driveway to get out and talk to me, the nice old couple, the friendly childless people in the black house, and more but you get the idea.

I know my direct neighbours' names and have talked a few times. I'm also familiar with most of the unhoused in the area and always say hello when passing by. A couple are super friendly and I'll always grab my empties for them if I see them looking for cans

(I live in the city centre)

I live in the same place I was born and am pretty old. So like I have met all sorts of people at one point or another but I really only know my family and people in my condo complex. At various times would run into dog owners walking at the same park and had sorta stronger aquantence style things. I have a real hard time with names and faces.

Uhhh no one. I'm bad with faces. I know who USE to live in the various homes but they're all passed mostly. So I still call the houses by their old owners names. I recognize some of them, but I have no idea where all these people walking dogs came from in the last year.

I have two neighbors near me. One I haven’t ever met and they have lived there for at least 12 years and the other one I know but haven’t talked to them in about 15 years.

Zero, I don’t know a single person on my street, I know one couple and one nice gentalmen on the next street over and maybe one other couple two streets down. 67 homes and I maybe have talked to 5 families

When the Key Bridge got knocked down, it was right outside Baltimore MD, my commute more than doubled so I had to get an apartment near work. While the drastic reduction in drive time has saved my sanity it has delayed my retirement plans a lot. I am ok with that as I really love where my apartment is.

As a result I have two neighborhoods, one is the Island that I call my main home and one is my apartment.

Main home neighborhood the count is: my wife and I am on a first name basis with 22 people, I consider six of them very close friends.

In my apartment building the count is: my wife and I know the person who lives in the next apartment. I also know four other people who live on other floors.
