America’s ‘Friendliest Cities’ List Includes 2 Idaho Locations

Recently Idaho cities have been featured on a lot of lists. People are thrilled to see the amount of love that our city has been getting and it seems like it has been a long time coming. Idaho used to be a hidden gem in America and now it seems like it is definitely one of the best places to live and everyone knows that.

Boise was recently put on the list of one of the best places to move for young people, one of the best places to retire, and one of the safest places to live. Idaho was even recently put on the list of the best places to live if you want to live off the grid. As of right now for the year 2025 Idaho is the 12th best state to live in if you want to live off the grid.

So If everyone is moving to Idaho what is one of the biggest draw ins? Well we think it might be the people and a recent survey proved this right!

Most of the states were featured in this ranking and considering people in Idaho seem very friendly it was a shock to see how low it was on the list. A lot of the time people in Idaho seem both very happy and friendly so to hear that Idaho isn't even near the top 10 for friendliest in in the country is almost unbelievable. But Pocatello and Lewiston were the lucky 2 Idaho cities who even got to be featured on this list!

However it is cool to consider two towns that people wouldn't typically consider to be the friendliest in Idaho have made the list. Check out the full list here.
