File under stuff you already knew: Yahoo Travel says it’s really hard to be single in Asheville. The blurb:
“Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has become popular with retirees who enjoy the area’s noted food and foliage and make up roughly one-third of its households. A large population of older adults does not bode well for the singles scene, though. Unmarried adults of any age are the minority in Asheville, and the share of young adults is a mere 17.5%. Even worse, for career-minded singles, jobs are limited to local government and service industries. Better prospects lie east in Durham, which made our list of best cities for singles.”
Feel better? It’s (maybe) not just you.
