Retirement for Single Seniors
Single Seniors... You're Never Too Old to Fall in Love.
Are you single? Looking to Retire?
Consider these Retirement Locations. Baby Boomers and seniors are increasingly going on first dates and creating new relationships during their retirement years. With more then 30 million Americans age 55 and older being single, it has become an important factor when considering where to retire.
In some places, single seniors make up a significantly larger portion of the older population than in other areas. Seniors, who are separated, divorced, widowed, or never married are considered part of the single population. However
, keep in mind that just because there are a large number of single seniors, it does not guarantee easy dating. Single women significantly outnumber single men in every city on the list, primarily because of widowhood. For example, if you are looking in Columbus, Georgia, you will find that there are only 8,791 single senior men compared to 20, 779 single senior women.
Therefore the key to dating in your retirement years is finding a place to meet new people. If you relocate to a community with a larger population of single seniors, you will have a better chance of meeting new single retirees.
Below is a list of metro areas with the most single seniors age 55 and over. U.S. News used Census Bureau data to come up with the list.
