Minneapolis is among the best cities in the nation for single women looking for mates, according to a report from NerdWallet, a data-driven personal finance website.

Their analysis scored major U.S. cities based on census data, male-to-female ratios, median income and access to entertainment venues.

Minneapolis fell behind San Francisco and Seattle for best cities for single women. Minneapolis did not make the top-20 list for best cities for single men – the top cities were Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

Overall, Minneapolis landed at number 12 for singles of both genders, where Boston led the nation.
