The authors began with a search for populated areas with a large number of unmarried people — they looked at the percentage of unmarried people, at the percentage of the population at marriage age, and also at the cities where many people live alone. All these data were taken from the census. Then they asked Esri colleagues to help find places where people do what unmarried people usually do. In such cities, indicators of the number of people who visit art galleries, bars, nightclubs and billiard rooms are at average levels. More people live in them who go dancing, singing at karaoke or watching romantic films. They do it on dates, or just learn how to go on dates - is unknown. The researchers deducted the balls to those cities where people play a lot of computer games (get out of the way, people), and added balls where they use dating sites and applications. In addition, several parameters were added that indicate that it is in principle good to live in a city: for example, the demographic diversity and cost of living.
