As Beyoncé once said, "All the single ladies, now put your hands up," especially if you live in Fayetteville.
According to a recent study from Zippia, a career services site, Fayetteville is the best city for single women in Arkansas.
Using Census data, researchers looked at every single city in the nation with at least 5,000 people and based their results on:
- Population density
- Percent of population that’s male vs. female (closer to a 50-50 ratio is better)
- Median age
- Number of unmarried people in each city
- Number of bars per capita
- Number of farmers markets per capita
Unfortunately, Fayetteville did not crack the list of top 10 cities for single women in the nation, but don't feel too bad about those results.
The study found the South generally did not rank very high, but at least it did better than Hawaii, which was ranked as the worst state for single women.
One major positive for Fayetteville was that this study also showed a significant number of cities on the list were college towns.
If you don't like it or he hasn't put a ring on it, you could always consider moving to one of the top 10 cities.
