Well, Memphis single gals, there’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news
is: It’s not you. The bad news is: It’s not you.
According to a nifty chart from urbanologist Richard Florida, the
Memphis metropolitan area has a surplus of single women. A surplus of
20,000 single women.
Illustrated by little red and blue balls, ahem, the singles map of the
United States shows women skewing toward the East Coast and men skewing
toward the West. (Guess lots of men took Horace Greeley’s advice.) In
New York and northern New Jersey, there are more than 210,000 more
single women than men. In the L.A. and Long Beach area, 89,000 more
single men than women.
Florida has a new book out entitled, Who’s Your City?, that argues that where you live is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in
your entire life. Well, duh.
