You\u2019ve hit the bars, been bullied into blind dates and dabbled in online dating. You\u2019ve scoped the gym, prowled the park and signed up for every singles\u2019 dance\/pottery\/book\/crocheting group in your neighbourhood. You\u2019ve even navigated the tumultuous waters of Tinder. Yet, no matter how much you swipe right, you\u2019ve still not found Mr\/Miss Right.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far in the game, the score is true love: 0, dating duds: too many to count.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a very good chance, however, that it\u2019s not you \u2014 or even them \u2014 but where you live that\u2019s preventing you meeting \u2018the one\u2019. Instead of waiting for the guy\/girl of your dreams to make the first move, you might need to move. Like, actually, literally need to move.<\/p>\n

New data compiled by Microburbs<\/a> ranks all Australian suburbs, from those with the most eligible men and women, to those with the least. That is, those areas in each state where you have the best chances of getting lucky, and those where, statistically, you\u2019ll have to look much harder for love.<\/p>\n

The data looks at all men and women aged 15-44 and ranks each neighbourhood according to what percentage of that group are not living with a partner. And yes, we know everyone is very progressive and independent these days, resulting in all sorts of living situations that might not reflect their relationship status \u2014 but you have to agree that, statistically, you have a much better chance with those who are not living with a partner, than those that are.<\/p>\n

Overall, if you are a man looking for a woman, the ACT<\/a> has the high percentage of single ladies with 13% of all females in that age group not cohabiting with a partner. Ladies hoping to nab a bloke should consider a move to South Australia, where 18% of all men aren\u2019t shacked up with a better half.<\/p>\n

Tasmania<\/a>, Queensland<\/a> and Western Australia<\/a> have the least singles overall.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the best \u2014 and worst \u2014 suburbs around the country to mingle with single.. Some might consider moving to seek out love an extreme measure, but that might be what it takes if you are truly hoping to meet that girl or boy next door.<\/p>\n

For those in the ACT, Braddon, Canberra\u2019s most densely populated suburb, is a good area for both men and women looking for love.<\/p>\n
