Pennsylvania ranks 41st in the nation with only 7.3% of people 18 and older reporting that they work with neighbors to x something. This is a surprising gure considering more than double that amount report exchanging favors with neighbors at least a few times a week, a statistic which will be explored in depth in the private sociability section of this report. The key then lies in making the link between doing things for one another and doing things together for the community.

Opportunities for Growth
1. Closing the generational gap
The youngest Pennsylvanians (born 1981 or later) get involved in their neighborhoods the least, as they fall behind all other generations at 4.6% other than the oldest citizens of the state (born 1930 or before) who x things at a rate of 3.2%.

2. Encouraging all demographics to work to x something in the neighborhood
• In keeping with all of the civic indicators measured in this report, Hispanics come in last in this category as well with only 4.3% working with their neighbors to x something in their
neighborhood.
• African American Pennsylvanians are the best at working with their neighbors with 10.8% doing so in the last year.

3. Closing the gap between marital/family status
• Married Pennsylvanians x things in the neighborhood twice as much (9.6%) than their single counterparts (4.4%).
• The gap narrows slightly between Pennsylvanians with children 18 and under working to x something (9.6%) and those without (6.7%).
