Single young professionals are looking for more than just a career. They're looking for a social life and financial stability as well. Not all cities are suitable for single young professionals, though.
Zippia conducted a study to determine which cities in each state are best for single young professionals. The website states:
"To better understand where single young professionals have a good chance of prospering, we set out to find where rent is cheap, jobs are plentiful, and there are a high number of singles."
According to the study, the best city in Utah for single young professionals is Salt Lake City. In fact, the city is actually one of the top 10 in the entire country. Here's what the website says about SLC:
"Utah is the best state for millennials, so it’s no surprise capital Salt Lake City has a lot to offer young professionals. In addition to low cost of living and a healthy individual income, Utah has a seriously low divorce rate."
42 percent of Salt Lake's population has never been married, giving it a high rate of single adults. The median salary in SLC is around $43,458, while the rent prices are around $1,001 per month.
According to Zippia, here are the top 10 cities in the United States for single young professionals:
- Madison, WI
- Fargo, ND
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Raleigh, NC
- Cambridge, MA
- Charleston, SC
- Arlington, VA
- Lincoln, NE
- St. Paul, MN
