If you're dating in Nashville, there are plenty of unattached folks to choose from, but singles in some other cities do have it easier.
By the numbers: More than 58% of Davidson County's approximately 543,488 residents aged 20-and-up are unmarried, compared to the national figure of 49.1%, per the latest census data.
Yes, but: The percentage of Nashville-area singles shrinks to 48% when you consider the broader metro area, which includes Davidson County and several family-heavy suburban counties.
Zoom in: Williamson County has the lowest percentage of single adults in the area, at 31.8%.
How it works: Those figures include 20-and-up people who have never been married, plus those who were married at one point but have since gotten divorced or separated, or have been widowed.
Zoom out: Baltimore (74%), the Bronx (71.9%) and Washington, D.C. (69.3%) have the highest rates of unmarried 20-and-older residents among U.S. counties with at least 250,000 such residents overall.
