Dating isn’t always easy, even with the prevalence of apps and online sites promising everlasting love. If you’re have trouble finding “the one,” it may actually be because of where you live as some singles may have a harder time looking for love in certain cities than they would in others.
WalletHub compared over 180 cities around the country to figure out which are the best (and the worst!) for singles. While you may expect major destinations like New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago to top the list, the real rankings may come as a surprise. Six cities in North Carolina made the list, with a few locales ranking among the worst:
- No. 64: Raleigh
- No. 74: Fayetteville
- No. 100: Charlotte
- No. 151: Durham
- No. 153: Greensboro
- No. 169: Winston-Salem
Coming in at No. 169 overall, Winston-Salem was the lowest-ranking Tar Heel State destination on the list, making it one of the worst in the country for singles. While it earned relatively high marks in the economics category, it placed low in the fun & recreation and dating opportunities categories.
