This months National Geographic Magazine (Feb, 2007) has an interesting statistics page on Singles in America. According to the article (and the U.S. Census Bureau) depending on what side of the Mississippi River you live on will increase your chance of finding a mate. Western urban areas like San Francisco and Los Angeles tend to have many more males than females. Females tend to out number males in eastern cities like New York (185,000 more), Washington, Chicago and Miami.
One reason for this is that 58% of college students are female, and a large portion of these colleges tend to be in the east. Once graduated more females tend to join the white collar workforce in big cities, while men tend to rely more on agriculture or cities with booming construction sectors like Las Vegas.
