Sacramento Singles Unite

I came across a list today of the Best Cities for Singles as provided on Forbes.com that I thought was rather amusing. Mostly because of their methodology. But our fair city did manage to rank in the top 15 (#15) which is a step up from 2004’s rank of #31.

{Reader’s Note: Sacramento’s worst ranking came in the category of Nightlife. Kissmekate, this is a special call to action for you to continue pounding the pavement, sipping those foo-foo drinks, and report back on why our Nightlife should kick #28 San Diego’s ass! (we tied for 30 with Salt Lake City)}

It appears that the author’s “Cost of Living Alone” was determined by a proprietary index which incorporated the average cost of a metro area’s apartment rent, a Pizza Hut pizza, a movie ticket and a six-pack of Heineken. Man, there’s gotta be a better way to determine this information, right? Heineken?

And the Singles category was based on the percentage of a metro’s population above the age of 15 that has never been married. 15? {insert West Virginia crack here}

All in all, we beat out some pretty big little cities. Portland, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City to name a few. Not bad Sacramento, not bad at all.

  1. Sac’s nightlife sucks. Yes, it’s getting better, but there are still too few venues. I will say our BAR scene is pretty decent, but our CLUB scene needs a quality and quantity boost. C’mon Sacto! We need a goal – let’s outrank Salt Lake City next year! Who’s with me?
