Young, single, and ready to mingle? We'll admit that life as a single person isn't always a walk in the park, but living in certain cities can help make the most out of solo life. Whether you love a fancy restaurant, dig a funky bar crawl, or are simply looking for somewhere safe to lay your head, these cities have it all. Rent.com [1] and Onboard Informatics collected data that covers everything from average income to coffee-shop density to determine the top 10 spots for all the single ladies (and gentlemen).

Each category marked with * is scored on a scale from 1-1,000 (1,000 being the top score), here's the breakdown of what each one means to you:

• Safety Index: based on the total crime risk for each city.
• Lifestyle-Trend Focus Index: based on the percentage of people who enjoy going out dancing, drinking, clubbing, and attending concerts and performances.
• Nightlife Options Index: based on the number and density of bars, clubs, pubs, and other nighttime establishments in each city.
