Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 — Meet Market Adventures (www.meetmarketadventures.com), the premiere event and social club for singles in North America, has identified the ten U.S. cities with the greatest population of singles between the ages of 24 and 55. New York City tops the list with the largest number of singles (over 1.9 million), while Washington, D.C. holds the record for highest concentration of single residents (43.8 percent).

“In today’s age of postponed marriages, longer working hours and high divorce rates, it’s no surprise that there are 25.4 million single adults between the ages of 24 and 55 living in North America,” says Travis Hartley, Founder of Meet Market Adventures. “We find that more and more are tired of the dating scene and just want to enjoy themselves.”
