Where are America's High Trust Communities? Nick defines “high trust” communities by comparing them to Switzerland across metrics like low violent/property crime, strong K–12 schools, trust in neighbors, civic involvement, homeownership, and low transience, while explicitly excluding inequality as a metric. He argues the highest-trust areas are typically wealthy outer-ring suburbs in blue states rather than rural South/Midwest, college towns, or tourist towns, citing spillover from nearby cities and higher rural social problems.
