Are you looking for love this Valentine's Day? GoLocalWorcester in partnership with FindTheBest analyzed the 2013 American Community Survey and crunched the numbers on the percentage of people who have never been married. We then identified the counties in Massachusetts with the highest proportion of single people. For reference, approximately 35.6% of Massachusetts, and an estimated 32.2% of Americans haven't tied the knot yet. If you still need a date for this Saturday, Suffolk County is your best bet for finding love with a promising 54.3% of the total population reported as being single. Those seeking females are at a slight advantage here as there are more women than men in Suffolk County.
