This Michigan Suburb Is One of the Best for Singles in America

If you're single and looking to mingle, Michigan, apparently, is a great spot. Now, many of my single friends would disagree with this statement, but according to the numbers, Michigan is actually one of the best places to meet other singles in America, because one of its suburbs has a lot of single men and women.

The crew at SolitaireBliss.com did the research to determine the suburbs in America that are the best for singles. "It’s not surprising that major metropolitans tend to attract more people. But single people don’t just live within the confines of major cities, there are plenty of singles out in the suburbs, who enjoy games like Solitaire!" they state. They added, "We analyzed US Census Bureau data to find out which major suburbs have the highest percentage of single people, including people who have never been married, and those who are divorced or separated."

Now, a Detroit suburb is getting national attention for being named one of the best for those looking to find love. That suburb is Southfield. According to the report, Southfield is the No. 9 overall city with the most single men and women in the U.S. They're No. 2 for single women and outside the top 10 for single men, which averages out to No. 9 overall.

According to the report, 56.1% of residents in Southfield are single. The five suburbs for singles include Euclid, Ohio; Hoboken, New Jersey; Lakewood, Ohio; Paradise, Nevada; and Hackensack, New Jersey. Additionally, more than half of all residents in 14 different states are single. View the full report here and read on the Michigan town with the most single women in the entire U.S.

Valentine's Day, of course, always pops up in February, and that means single people get a whole day to be reminded that they're single. Honestly, Valentine's Day, in my opinion, should be a day to celebrate love in general, whether that's loving your pet, family or friends. But, the holiday always seems to center around romantic love.

For those looking for love, now, a new report shows that one Michigan city has the most single women in the entire U.S., making it, according to the study, one of the best in the U.S. for singles.

"Just in time for Valentine's Day - a new report analyzed US Census Bureau data to determine which major suburbs across the country had the highest percentage of single residents," the study, conducted by SolitaireBliss.com, states. They add, "It's not surprising that major metropolitans tend to attract more people. But single people don’t just live within the confines of major cities, there are plenty of singles out in the suburbs, who enjoy games like Solitaire!"

So, which Michigan city as the most single women in the entire U.S.? That honor goes to Detroit. According to the report, Detroit beat out Baltimore, Maryland, for the city with the most single ladies in America. That's not all, either. One Michigan suburb is also great for finding love, according to the study: Southfield. According to the report, 56.1% of residents in Southfield are single. If you're looking for a man, Michigan also ranked No. 2 for states with the most single men in the entire U.S. I think my single friends would disagree with that, but those are the numbers. Detroit also "boasts the most single people, with more than seven in 10 residents not reportedly married," according to the study.
