Here's Where North Carolina Ranks Among The Best States For Singles

Valentine's Day. Depending on your relationship status, you may either be anticipating the most romantic day of the year or completely dreading it. But have you considered that where you live may play a factor in your love life?

To help figure out why some people may be more lucky in love than others, WalletHub released a study comparing the best and worst states for singles. States like Florida and New York rank high because of ample dating opportunities and romantic and fun activities, while states like New Mexico and West Virginia don't have as many opportunities for those without romantic partners.

So where did North Carolina rank?

The Tar Heel state came in at number 16 on the list. While North Carolina may rank lower for opportunities when dating, it ranks in the top 20 for its vast number of romantic and fun activities.

Here are the top 10 best states for singles:

1. Florida
2. Texas
3. Pennsylvania
4. Wisconsin
5. New York
6. Illinois
7. California
8. Ohio
9. Michigan
10. Missouri

To determine the list, WalletHub compared each state using three factors: dating economics, dating opportunities, and romance and fun. These factors were then evaluated using 27 relevant metrics, including share of single adults, gender balance of singles, online and mobile dating opportunities, average beer and wine price, job growth rate, restaurants per capita, crime rate, online dating safety, and more.
