San Francisco
With 39 percent of the city’s population unmarried, San Francisco is the best city in the country for singles according to a list compiled by Rent.com. More than 15 percent of its population is gay, which may partially account for the high number. Since gay marriage was legalized in 2008, the total single population number may decline. While it may be expensive to live there (median rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $2,920), there are plenty of free activities for singles.
