Did you know? 45 percent of Americans aged 18 or older are single, which means that if you’re currently looking for love, you’re in pretty good shape. But not every city is created equal when it comes to the dating pool. Between wild average date costs (you’ll need $297.27 for a decent date in New York City according to those statistics that went viral back in August) and limited entertainment sources, some cities are better suited for finding your match than others.

Which is why the folks at WalletHub took it upon themselves to compare over 180 cities across the U.S., looking at everything from the population of singles to online dating opportunities to nightlife options. It’s no surprise that dating in NYC is expensive AF, but did you know that Dover, Delaware has the most expensive bottle of wine? (Read below to find out how much.)

Whether you’re thinking of moving or getting ready for travel, these are the best (and the worst) cities to live in if you’re single right now.
