Are you single and looking to mingle and maybe find something more in Michigan? If so, there are a handful of cities that are apparently the best in the state to find true love- or at least a great date.

A new study from HomeSnacks.com has determined the 10 best cities for singles in the Wolverine State. They looked at a variety of factors and crunched the numbers. "To give you the places in Michigan which are best for singles to find one another, we have to look at a handful of metrics," HomeSnacks.com states. "Of course, we want to measure the type of people who live in each city, and make some assumptions about what single people like."

"We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible," they added. They also used the 2016-2020 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Michigan to look at each city in the state, paying close attention to population density; % of population that's male vs. female (closer to a 50-50 ratio is better); % of households with kids; median age; and number of unmarried people in each city. They then gave each town a "Singles Score," with the higher the score, the better the city is for singles to find one another. They also limited the results to cities with populations over 10,000 people, which means 88 cities.

HomeSnacks.com also pointed out that according to the Pew Research Center, the number of Americans who have remained single (not married) is going up. They also stated that Michigan ranks in the top 10 when it comes to number of people over the age of 18 who aren't married or in a serious relationship. That makes it, overall, a good state to find love. Read on for the top 25 Michigan cities for singles, and best of luck at finding true love.

By the way, Detroit came in at No. 17 on the list, so just outside the top 15.

15. Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park, just outside of Detroit, is considered great for singles. Who would have thought?

14. Dearborn

Dearborn, another Detroit suburb, is also high on this list. It's apparently a good place to find love.

13. Hamtramck

Another Detroit-area city, Hamtramck, is also high on the list for being a good area to find the love of your life.

12. Lansing

I grew up in Lansing, and I actually never thought it was a good city for singles. It was too small, and most of my friends didn't think it was good for dating, either. But, it's No. 12 on this list.

11. Grand Rapids

This makes sense. Grand Rapids is not a large city, but not a small city, either. It's a popular area, so with that perfect size and popularity, I'm not surprised it's No. 11 on this list.

10. Highland Park

The Detroit area is great for finding singles, according to this list. Highland Park is another one that made the cut, coming in at No. 10.

9. Auburn Hills

Another Detroit-area spot, Auburn Hills, is inside the top 10 at No. 9 on this list. It's definitely a nice part of the Detroit metro area.

8. Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is known for its casinos, but how about dating? It's surprisingly No. 8 on this tally.

7. Marquette

Woah. Marquette is a very cold area, but it's beautiful. I didn't realize it was such a hotspot for dating.

6. Royal Oak

Royal Oak is certainly a shot spot for young adults in the Detroit area. It's considered one of the best areas in Michigan to meet your love.

5. Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo is a smaller city, but it's a college town, and maybe that's one reason why it's a high No. 5 on the list of cities for singles.

4. Ferndale

Like Royal Oak, Ferndale is a great spot for young adults. It's also one of the best areas for singles in Michigan.

3. Ypsilanti

Somewhere between Ann Arbor and Detroit is Ypsilanti, and it's considered one of the best places for singles in the state.

2. East Lansing

Home of the MSU Spartans, East Lansing is No. 2 on this list. I went to MSU and can attest to the fact it's a great area for dating. Not always serious, but dating.

1. Ann Arbor

Here we go! Ann Arbor, home of the Wolverines, is No. 1 on this list. College towns are great places to meet people, and hence, find love.
