Looking for love? Aren’t we all. If you’re single and live in North Carolina, your chances of finding true love are actually pretty good.
The folks at Clever Real Estate set out to determine the best cities in the U.S. for singles. They analyzed publicly available data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census, Yelp, and the Black Tux to rank the 50 most populous metro areas in the U.S. according to how great they are for singles.
The North Carolina cities of Charlotte and Raleigh both landed within the top 40 on the list. For those of you living in Charlotte, your odds of finding Mr. or Miss. right are way higher with the city ranking number 22 out of 50!
