neighborhood ties
Nearby resident connections
Neighborhood ties are the social connections people maintain with those who live nearby—relationships with neighbors ranging from casual acquaintance to genuine friendship.
Strong neighborhood ties mean residents know each other, look out for one another, and share information: The neighborhood ties here are so strong that someone always notices when a package gets delivered.
Weak neighborhood ties characterize places where residents keep to themselves.
Sociologists study neighborhood ties as indicators of community cohesion and social capital.
