Would it be a good thing to know your neighbors? Sure, but in the last decade the percentage of us who do has fallen.
In fact, for about two-thirds of Americans, the top priority in being a good neighbor is maintaining distance and privacy.
Young adults may feel more isolated from neighbors than others do: "Since 2012, the percentage of young adults who talk to their neighbors at least a few times per week dropped from 51% to 25%. Among seniors, the decline was only seven points."
