Zillow, the $3 billion online real-estate company, has ranked the cities that offer the highest odds of finding a new love. Zillow considered a variety of data, including each city’s percentage of singles, percentage of singles who moved to town in the past year, median disposable income of single residents, and the number of date spots per capita.

See if your city made the list. (Spoiler: New York City couldn't crack the top 10.)
