So what is the best city for singles? Well, according to this new survey, that city isn't far away. In fact, it's right here in the state of Georgia. It's only about two hours or so from us here in the CSRA. Have you figured out what city it is yet? Okay, I'll give you one last hint. The Braves and The Falcons live there. You got it now? Yep, it's Atlanta!

I guess now there's more than reason why they call it "Hotlanta" right? Well, according to a new survey by Zumper, if you're single, you need to move to Atlanta. Or you at least need to visit there on the regular. So, how did they come up with this list?

The Criteria

This list was based on several factors, which include:

  • Median rent price
  • Percentage of single population
  • cost of living
  • median income
  • unemployment rate
  • access to dining and entertainment

So based on those factors, Atlanta tops the list. But what other cities made up the rest of the top ten?

The Rest Of The List

  1. Atlanta, Georgia
  2. St. Louis, Missouri
  3. Minneapolis, Minnesota
  4. Boston, Massachusetts
  5. Madison, Wisconsin
  6. Washington DC
  7. Orlando, Florida
  8. Salt Lake City, Utah
  9. Richmond, Virginia
  10. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

If you're looking for love, now you know the right places. I can totally see why Atlanta topped the list. There has been so much happening in Atlanta over the last several years. More movies and TV shows are being filmed there. The Atlanta sports teams are doing pretty good. Most major music tours go through Atlanta. If I were single, I would probably be in Atlanta quite a bit.

Now that you know where the single people are in Georgia, take a look at a list of where they aren't. I doubt you'll find many singles in these weird Georgia towns.

The Weirdest Town Names In Georgia

These are the weirdest town names in Georgia. They sound like they're made up, however, they are 100% real. If you've done any traveling, odds are you've been through some small towns. Towns so small you blink and you miss them. These towns don't even have a Walmart, and won't have one anytime soon.

According to WRBL, these are the weirdest town names in Georgia. I've looked over this list and I've never heard of any of these places. I've lived here in Georgia my entire life. I feel like I've seen a good majority of this great state, but none of these places.

There are a lot of big cities in Georgia, and a lot of historical cities as well. Places pretty much everyone has heard of like Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, and Macon. However, I'd be willing to bet good money that y'all have never heard of any of these towns. Also, I'll bet you've probably never met anyone from any of these towns as well.

Georgia isn't the only state with weird town names though. Have y'all ever heard of any of these? Lick Skillet, Alabama, or Treasure Island, Florida? What about Soso, Mississippi, or Lizard Lick, North Carolina? How about Pumpkintown, South Carolina? Ever been there? Do you know anyone from there? I didn't think so.

These town names sound made up, but they're all totally real!

Between, Georgia

It's located in Walton County and according to the last census in 2020, 402 people live there. Honestly, that's 400 more than I was expecting.

Tiger, Georgia

Named after Tiger Woods maybe? Probably not, but that's what I want to believe. This town is in Rabun County and has a population of 422. Wonder if 20 people moved from Between over to Tiger?

Gumlog, Georgia

Apparently Gumlog Road is the only way in and out of this community located in Franklin County. Surprisingly, 2,358 people live there. How many is that? That's almost a sold out show at the Bell Auditorium.

Blitch, Georgia

I feel you've got to be real careful when you say the name of this town. It's located in Bulloch County and was named after a postmaster in the 1900s named W.H. Blitch. They don't know what the population is. I'm going to guess not very many.

Talking Rock, Georgia

This town is located in Pickens County and has a population of only 91 people. However, apparently there is a Talking Rock Heritage Days festival. Y'all wanna take a road trip?
