For the study Bloomberg looks at the median household income for each single member against the national average and the amount of single people living in the area from the ages 15-64 citing data from the U.S. Census Bureau of 2006-2010.According to the report Hoboken is at the top of the list with men in that age group taking home a median income of $94,500 and women making an average of $77,631.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median age for a first marriage increased to 26.1 for women and 28.2 for men in 2010 up from 25.1 and 26.8, respectively, in 2000
The Fiscal Times reports that the age for marriage has increased due to the weak economic recovery. I don't know if that in itself is enough to sway us to wait longer to hitch. Personally I think cities like Hoboken and NYC are filled with people that have a deep drive for success and it's difficult to build a relationship when you're worried about getting to the top or landing your dream job.
Could it also be that marriage just doesn't seem as appealing anymore to some? From a cost analysis perspective marriage is very expensive and then there's children.
Whatever the case may be, Hobokenites enjoy their happy hour after work and their night out almost any day of the week. And I say it's healthy to be on the scene for a while until you figure out what you really want in life and from a partner (in that order :) )
Whether you're looking to "Put A Ring on It" or "Mr Right for now", Hoboken is yet again the number one place to look! Search for a Hoboken home on my website.
Are you single by choice? Have you met someone in town? Would love to hear!
