PicodiFebruary 9, 2023

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

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 Census Bureau data on the population in individual states.

Where in the US is it easier to find love online?

After looking closely at the data of the most popular search engine in the US, we found out that citizens of New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are most likely to find their significant other online. Internet users visit dating websites in those states more frequently than the country average.

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

This is what the ranking of all states looks like:
