It Really Is Hard to Find a Date in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is No. 4 on a list of the 10 worst cities for dating in Michigan. Cheer up. You could live in Grand Rapids.

BEVERLY HILLS, MI – If you’re single and alone, it’s not you. It’s Beverly Hills, one of the 10 worst cities for dating in Michigan, according to Road Snacks.

Stay Connected

That’s partly because 62 percent of residents are already married — the fourth-highest in Michigan — and 36 percent have children. There are also few places to meet people, according to the analysis, which is based on population density, the number of single people and people without kids, and places to meet people, including coffee shops, bars, restaurants and churches per capita.

It could be worse. And it is in three other cities. Here are the 10 worst places to find a date:

  1. East Grand Rapids

  3. Wyoming
  4. Beverly Hills
  5. Kentwood
  6. Grosse Pointe Woods
  7. Muskegon Heights
  8. Rochester Hills
  9. Grosse Pointe Park
  10. Sterling Heights
