How Does Detroit Rank In Marital Bliss?
Marital Bliss in the D!
First thing I do when I see ranked lists is check to see if Detroit is in the top ten. If Detroit isn’t there, I scan the bottom ten and here we are. Lawnstarter recently put together a list of cities to “Get and Stay Married.” We didn’t do so hot.
The list was based on the following factors:
- Rate of married households
- Five-year change in divorce and separation rate
- Share of young people who have never married
- Wedding venues per 100,000 residents
- Event planners per 100,000 residents
Bottom Five
| 146 | Akron, OH |
| 147 | Detroit, MI |
| 148 | Sunrise Manor, NV |
| 149 | Toledo, OH |
| 150 | Worcester, M |
This would suck worse, if it wasn’t for Ohio sucking more… I kid, kinda. Ohio had three cities in the bottom ten (Cleveland at 145). In case your thinking of moving and marital bliss is a geographic factor…
Top Five
| 1 | Fremont, CA |
| 2 | Jersey City, NJ |
| 3 | Glendale, CA |
| 4 | Arlington, VA |
| 5 | Santa Ana, CA |
California ranked the best out of any state, not like they need another reason to brag. You can check out the full article and complete stats on this link.
