Review Of Houston by HomeSnacks User

Crime is same as most major cities. It is very cosmopolitan with all sorts of amazing ethnic foods. Cost of living is also pretty good given it is a major city. Lots of job opportunities

Hermann park is lovely as is Discovery Green. There are many food options here for all budgets and easily accessible. There are lot of sporting and cultural activities such as the annual rodeo etc.

Review Of Killeen by HomeSnacks User

Killeen has a few nice areas, but there are a lot of dangerous areas. There are a lot of options as far as places to eat. It is heavily military with Ft. Hood just next door. The mall is decent for this area, meaning it has more open stores than closed ones. Traffic from Ft. Hood can be quite bad at times.

There is a reason the local hospital is referred to as Murderplex. There are some really rough areas, especially at night.

Methodology: How do you determine which city is best for singles in Texas anyways?

To give you the places in Texas which are best for singles to find one another, we used Saturday Night Science to look at a handful of metrics. Of course, we want to measure the type of people who live in each city and make some assumptions about what single people like.

So we researched the internet for a database that contains all that information.

We threw a lot of criteria at this one to get the best, most complete results possible. Using the 2018-2022 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Texas, we looked at every single city in the state. We paid particular attention to:

  • Population density
  • % of population that’s male vs. female (closer to a 50-50 ratio is better)
  • % of households with kids
  • Median age
  • Number of unmarried people in each city

We then gave each city a “Singles Score.”

The higher the score, the better the city is for singles to find one another. We also limited our results to cities with over 10,000 people. For Texas, that meant a total of 226 cities.

We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the best cities for singles in Texas.

Read on to see why Dallas is the talk of the town while Robinson is probably a bit on the bland side.
