Cities That Might Make You Snooze
Jacksonville, Florida, USAFri Jul 11 2025
A recent study has put Jacksonville, Florida, at the top of a list you might not want to be on. It's been named the most boring big city in the U.S.
The Study's Findings
The study looked at 75 big cities and checked out things like:
- Fun stuff to do
- Places to eat
- Big events
Jacksonville didn't score well because:
- It has a lot of chain restaurants
- Over half of the places to eat there are chains
- That's 54% of them
The study also ranked the 10 most boring cities.
What Makes a City Boring?
Is it just about the number of chain restaurants? Or is it about the lack of fun things to do? Maybe it's about the vibe of the city.
- Some people might find a city boring if it doesn't have a lot of excitement
- Others might prefer a slower pace
- It's all about what you like
The Study's Limitations
The study might have missed some things:
- It didn't look at the people who live there
- Maybe the people in Jacksonville are really friendly and make up for the lack of excitement
- Or maybe there are hidden gems in the city that the study didn't find
It's important to remember that a study like this is just one person's opinion. It's not the final word on what makes a city boring or exciting.

questions
Could the ranking be influenced by a secret agenda to discourage people from moving to these cities?
Are the criteria for this ranking somehow biased against certain regions or types of cities?
How might the perception of a city as 'boring' affect its development and growth?
