Here’s an interesting fact: 41% of American adults over 18 are unmarried (single). Being single doesn’t necessarily mean living alone as 9.8 million single Americans lived with an opposite sex partner in 2005. With more and more people in America spending almost half of their lives staying single, the “single” status has become more of a class in the economy, which cities can’t afford to lose.

San Francisco tops the list in the overall rankings, which is followed by New York and Los Angeles. San Francisco also ranks first in culture, while New York tops the list in night life. Austin, Texas is the best city for job growth, Dallas is the cheapest for living alone and Houston boasts off its huge online dating community.
