Rocket Mortgage Finds Only 30% Know Neighbors, 80% Value Community Ties
Rocket Mortgage survey finds 30% of Americans know neighbors beyond a casual level while 80% say strong neighborhoods improve quality of life. Only 17% actively seek interactions despite 68% receiving neighbor support, underscoring brand resonance from Rocket’s community-focused Super Bowl ad.
1. Survey Findings on Neighborhood Connections
Only 30% of Americans know their neighbors beyond a casual level, and just 17% actively seek out interactions, even though 68% report receiving support from a neighbor in the past year. Hesitation remains a top barrier, with 41% finding door knocks too bold and 22% feeling awkward initiating contact.
2. Value of Strong Neighborhoods
Nearly 80% of respondents say strong neighborhoods improve their quality of life, and 81% view third spaces like parks and libraries as important for connection. Despite this, only 33% connect in outdoor public spaces and just 25% use digital platforms to build local relationships.
3. Brand and Marketing Impact
Rocket Mortgage’s Super Bowl ad “America Needs Neighbors Like You” reflects these findings, positioning the lender’s community-focused messaging to strengthen brand engagement. This marketing push could differentiate Rocket’s digital mortgage platform by highlighting its commitment to neighborly connections.
