Where do the most romantic Americans live?

Picodi.com analysis team decided to check the statistics of “romantic” queries on the internet in all states and created the ranking of the most romantic places in the US.

In search of romantic

Our queries list consisted of terms like “Valentine’s Day”, “love confession”, “flowers”, “love”, and others which would associate with Valentine’s Day. During the period before Valentine’s Day, the frequency of searching these queries increases in the whole United States. However, in some places, the interest in making a pleasant surprise to the significant other increases more, and in some — notably less.

After looking closely at Google’s figures, it turns out that the most romantic Americans live in Idaho, Maryland, and Mississippi. In these states, the increase in popularity of queries connected to Valentine’s Day was the highest. It may be that residents of Gem State, surrounded by an abundance of natural resources and scenic areas, are more inclined to enjoy the romantic atmosphere.

Among all states, the lowest interest in Valentine’s Day and all connected to it was noted among residents of Nevada (51^st place). Hawaii and Colorado turned out to be quite unromantic as well (50^th and 49^th place respectively)
