Carrboro, look out. There are singles in your area.
Livability.com, a site dedicated to researching the best qualities of small-to-medium sized cities, has declared Carrboro the best city for single people in the United States in 2015.
According to the site’s editor, Matt Carmichael, the rankings were determined by a combination of electronic data and personal opinion.
“We used data that helped us create a short list — things like number of singles in the area, of young people in the area, of attractions where you can meet people at karaoke bars and stuff like that,” Carmichael said.
“Then, we used that short list to create the top 10 and made sure we were getting good national representation.”
“The students should take comfort knowing that they’re a good part of the ranking,” he said.
We asked local residents what they thought about this ranking.
