Best Cities For Singles
Unlucky in love? Stop beating yourself up – and think about moving. Maybe to San Francisco.
It ranked first for culture and received high marks for number of singles, nightlife, online dating and cool. The “city that never sleeps,” New York, came in a strong second place, thanks to its performance as the country’s No. 1 spot for nightlife. Entertainment mecca Los Angeles came in third; Atlanta fourth, and Chicago fifth. Rounding out the top ten are Washington, San Diego, Seattle, Fort-Worth and Philadelphia.
Denver, meanwhile, our top-ranked city from 2004 to 2006, has dropped to 16th place. But before Denver city elders start beating themselves up over this, we should note that this is largely because, amid several refinements to our methodology this year, we’ve switched to a new way of defining each city. In the past, the boundaries and population of each city were drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s list of “Metropolitan Statistical Areas.” But in 2007, we’ve begun using the Census Bureau’s “Urbanized Area,” which provides a tighter focus on cities themselves.
That means the youthful, nearby city of Boulder is no longer included in our assessment of Denver, and that hurt the Mile-High City a lot. But Denver still has one major draw for singles: It’s ranked No. 1 on affordability.
