Whether you're looking for a life partner or planning a marketing approach for your grooming business, it's interesting to note which states have the most single men. A new study reveals the answers.
New research has revealed the states with the most unmarried men, with New Mexico coming out on top. The study by family law attorneys Melone Hatley, P.C. analyzed the latest US Census data from 2022 to determine the percentage of men who aren't married per each US state.
It found that New Mexico has the most unmarried men, with 55.7% of the male population not currently married. Of this, 39.8% have never been married, along with 11.4% who are divorced, 3% who are widowed, and 1.4% who are separated.

Rounding out the top five is Mississippi, where 53% of the male population is unmarried. Of this, 36.8% have never been married, 10.5% are divorced, 3.4% are widowed, and 2.2% are separated.

How this data develops into further generations will be worth watching.”
