Georgia residents may enjoy the peach state’s mild winters and southern hospitality, but for many, their neighbors can be anything but neighborly.
According to a recent survey by All Star Home, Georgia ranks #15 for the states with the nosiest neighbors.
The survey, which polled 2,000 Americans, revealed that 63% of Georgia respondents reported having a neighbor who asks way too many questions. Additionally, 58% of respondents reported having a neighbor who watches them from afar.
These findings suggest that for many Georgians, privacy is hard to come by in their own neighborhoods.

The high percentage of Georgians dealing with nosy neighbors is not surprising given the state’s close-knit communities and tradition of Southern hospitality. However, it does raise concerns about the level of intrusion some residents may be experiencing.
The survey results serve as a reminder that while community spirit is important, respect for personal boundaries is crucial in maintaining good neighborly relations.
