U.S. adults would most like to be neighbors with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow if given a choice of celebrity neighbors, according to a nationwide survey released Wednesday. Tebow ranked as the most desirable celebrity neighbor for 2012, according to the fifth annual Zillow Celebrity Neighbor Survey.
In the coming year, 11 percent of adults surveyed would like to be neighbors with Tebow. His popularity was significantly higher among males (14 percent) than females (7 percent).
Zillow is a real estate information firm that provides information about homes, real estate listings and mortgages through websites and mobile applications.
The survey noted, however, that more than 40 percent of Americans don’t want a celebrity neighbor.
“As a voyeuristic culture that breathlessly tracks every celebrity movement, it’s extremely surprising to see so many Americans saying they wouldn’t like to live next door to any celebrity at all,” Zillow chief marketing officer Amy Bohutinsky said. Howard Pankratz, The Denver Post
