Worcester in the Top Five

It isn't often that I find a story that lists Worcester as being in the top five in any particular category, but when it comes to a balance between single men and single women, that's right where Worcester is.

From page 2 of the article:
"The entire region surrounding Boston and its immediate suburbs does well, too. Worcester; Portland, Maine; and Portsmouth-Manchester, N.H., also score among the top five for singles among small-medium-sized regions nationwide."

For single guys and gals that think they'd prefer living in some other area where there's a surplus of singles of the opposite sex, there's a map. From the looks of the map, east of the mississippi river there is a greater number of single women, and west of the mississippi river there's a surplus of single men. I wonder why that is?...
