Best and Worst Towns for Singles in America, Including Georgia
The experts at Consumer Affairs have put together a study on the best cities for dating in the U.S. They add that a lot of people are single today, and the numbers are quite interesting. “While dating apps and continued population growth over recent decades have vastly expanded the pool of prospective romantic partners in and around the U.S., the percentage of one-person households has exploded over the past 60 years, from 13% in 1960 to 29% in 2022,” they note in the study. That’s a big increase.
For the studio, the Consumer Affairs Research Team “analyzed the 150 most populous U.S. cities for dating opportunities, cost of living, quality of life and dating interest to determine which cities provide the best environment for singles to explore romantic relationships.” So, they used a lot of different factors in their decision.
So, what about Georgia? Atlanta made the top 20 on the roster, coming in at lucky No. 13 with a total score of 63.03. It ranked No. 10 in “dating interest,” which looks at activity for online dating apps, including Tinder, Bumble, Grindr and Hinge. So, they say people in Atlanta are looking for love.
There are more than 127 million single people ages 18 years and older living in the U.S., according to U.S. Census data. That makes up for a staggering 40% of the nation’s population, so more people may be single than you think looking around at all your married friends.
