Highest single adults by state

Single adults ages 25–44.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Adults ages 25–44 recorded by the Census as never married, separated, widowed, or divorced, as a share of everyone in that age range. It is a marital-status snapshot—not a count of people seeking relationships, an orientation measure, or a measure of dating outcomes.
