Arizona is making headlines for a surprising reason: it ranks as one of the top states in the U.S. for unmarried men. Consequently, a recent study commissioned by the law firm Melone Hatley, P.C. reveals that the Grand Canyon State holds the 10th spot in the country for the highest percentage of men who are not currently married.

According to the findings, a significant 51.40% of men in Arizona are unmarried. This figure is composed of various categories: 48.60% of men are married, 2.70% are widowers, 10.50% are divorced, 1.30% are separated, and a notable 37% have never been married. As a result, this places Arizona solidly in the top 10 states for unmarried men.
To put this into perspective, New Mexico leads the nation with the highest percentage of unmarried men. In New Mexico, a remarkable 55.7% of men fall into the unmarried category. With 39.8% having never been married, 11.4% divorced, 3% widowed, and 1.4% separated. Following New Mexico, the top 10 states with high percentages of unmarried men are as follows:
Interestingly, the high percentage of unmarried men in Arizona could be linked to the state’s challenging environment for singles. For example, a recent study by Spokeo sheds light on why Arizona may not be the best place for those seeking companionship. This study evaluates various factors that impact the single life experience, including the percentage of never-married adults, rates of volunteerism, the presence of mental health services, and other positive indicators. It also considers negative aspects such as the frequency of romance-related crimes, unemployment rates, the likelihood of being ghosted, and the high cost of living. However, based on these factors, Arizona ranks as the second worst state for singles, just behind Florida.
This dual perspective highlights an intriguing contrast: while Arizona is home to a substantial proportion of unmarried guys. It may not necessarily be the most favorable environment for those seeking to forge new relationships. For those navigating the dating scene in the Grand Canyon State, it’s clear that the journey may come with its own set of challenges.
Overall, Arizona’s position in the top 10 for unmarried men underscores a unique demographic trend. Reflecting both opportunities and obstacles for singles in the state.
