What Are The 25 Most Organized Cities In America?

Los Angeles tied for number 7 in a survey for the most organized cities in America. How did your town rate?

While most of our work is concentrated in Los Angeles, it's really fun to travel and see professional organizing clients outside of the city, or in other states.

Part of the enjoyment of traveling is to hear folks talk about how much they love their city, or the town they grew up in. Until now, we've never heard anyone talk about how organized their city is though.

Doxo,  A Seattle-based digital document company just released their list of the Most Organized Cities in America. The doxo Organization Index (dOI) ranks major U.S. cities based on a number of organization factors including:

• Recycling rates;
• Individual income tax filing timeliness;
• Junk mail cancellations;
• Concentration of members of the National Association of Professional Organizers
• Sock drawer organization;
• The greatest number of unique providers and documents uploaded in users doxo accounts.

While Boston hit the number one spot, residents of the Sunshine and Golden States should have a rosy outlook this spring, with three cities in both Florida and California cities making the top 10. Los Angeles tied for 7th place with San Francisco. How did your city rate?
