New Mexico Business Weekly

Albuquerque ranked number 78 on this year’s list of the 100 Best Cities for Relocating Singles, according to a statement released today.

Criteria used for compiling the list included:

-Population criteria, such as the local single population aged 25 to 34, male to female ratios, diversity, density and growth.

-Economic criteria, such as the cost of living, job growth, higher education costs and availability of rental property.

-Quality-of-life criteria, such as prevalence of restaurants, bars, health clubs, sporting events and concerts, weather, crime rates and the percentage of the population utilizing online dating and subscribing to magazines targeting singles.

The list was compiled by relocation industry groups Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation, in partnership with Bert Sperling’s Best Places.

“Relocating to a city can be both exciting and overwhelming for an individual,” said Michelle Vallejo, president of Primacy Relocation’s Americas headquarters. “This survey identifies those factors that help ease the transition for singles, while helping (human resources) professionals better predict the success rates of their employee transfers.”

Top five rankings for U.S. metropolitan areas went to Boston/Quincy, Mass.; Nassau/Suffolk, N.Y.; New Haven, Conn.; New York/White Plains/Wayne, N.Y./N.J; and Edison, N.J.
