So, which cities are the best for singles in America? As it turns out, Pennsylvania has one of the best, and worst, cities to meet singles in the U.S.

With affordable living options, vibrant entertainment scenes, and bustling dating environments, these cities are the perfect places to embark on your cuffing season journey, or to relish in the joys of singlehood."
As for methodology, the crew at Zumber.com "evaluated around 100 top cities on median rent price, percentage of single population, cost of living, median income, unemployment rate, and access to dining and entertainment." Then, they ranked the results. So, a lot of different factors went into these calculations. One key takeaway, which doesn't have to do with our area, is that New Haven, Connecticut, has the highest population of singles at 61.49%, according to the study. So, if you're purely looking for numbers, that's a good spot for you.
