Love is in the air in Upstate New York, and anyone looking for love this Valentine's Day might want to look twice at one of these cities and towns.



We've ranked the 40 places in Upstate NY with the highest rates of unmarried eligible adults using the most current data from the U.S. Census. Unsurprisingly, many of the places on the list are home to colleges and universities with lots of new graduates, but some are also smaller villages that may surprise you.



Either way, why not even the odds if you're looking for a date, and take a look at the ranking below.



METHODOLOGY

This data was collected from the 2017 Census 5-year population estimates. Some locations, such as Census designated places that are exclusively college campuses, places that include a large population of prisoners or military bases, were not included in this list.



Population data by sex is and data about previous marriages is included for interest, but does not factor into the ranking.

You've gotta be kidding if you think I'm going to read through all these statistics.

[Deleted]

Oh I love stat's. I wasn't lucky though.

[Clipper]

Just think of the idiocy involved in contriving those statistics. Why would anyone even give a damn about such stats for anyplace other than possibly their own city or town. Some people just have too much idle time on their hands, haha.

[Clipper]

Where you find this stuff always amazes me pb. I was not referring to you in the comment about havin too much time on your hands, but you na I both might be slightly guilty of that,haha.
