Picodi.com analysts checked the statistics of searches related to finding a significant other online and created a ranking of the most online cities.

Our queries list consisted of the most popular dating apps and general phrases, such as “dating website”. To make the comparison fair, we juxtaposed the number of queries with the latest data on the population in individual cities.

Where in Ireland is it easier to find love online?

After looking closely at the data of the most popular search engine in Ireland, we found out that citizens of Waterford, Carlow and Galway are most likely to find their significant other online. Internet users visit dating websites in those cities more frequently than the country average.

On the other hand, citizens of Bray, Navan and Celbridge look for love online the least. In those cities, finding a significant other offline – in the street, at work or at social parties – is most likely more prevalent.
