GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A new ranking looks at the best Wisconsin cities to be single in this Valentine’s Day.
Self-described ‘info-tainment’ company Home Snacks Spokesman Nick Johnson says two Northeast Wisconsin cities place highly on their list, with Oshkosh coming in at number four and Green Bay ranking eighth.
Johnson explains the metrics.
“A lot of people in the area that are younger, that are probably not hitched already. You’re going to get mostly college towns or towns near colleges. Closer to 50-50 in terms of the male-female population.”
He says those qualities showed in the city that topped the list.
“Madison is the best place to go if you want to meet new people, especially single people. Obviously, it’s a college town so you’re going to have a lot of younger people.”
Johnson notes West Allis and Whitewater round out the top three.
On the other end of the spectrum, Suamico ranks as the second worst place in the state for singles, trailing only Brookfield.
According to Johnson, the places that are bad for singles tend to share some characteristics.
“It’s going to be places where it’s probably a lot of older people, probably out in the country, where there’s a lot of people that are married, that have kids.”
