Demographics and singles: clam bake on the East Coast, sausage ...

I am surprised by this data. I wonder if there where other factors explored too such as percentages of single v heterosexual relation v homosexual relationship and genders of gay couples?

We talked a bit about the differences in gay and lesbian settlement patterns about a year ago. We found that when a city has a high overall gay index according to the data on epodunk.com, the lesbian index will be inversely proportional to its population. A few examples:

Smaller cities with a large gay index:

Ithaca, NY
Gay index: 231
Gay male index: 143
Lesbian index: 322

Burlington VT:
Gay index: 184
Gay male index: 148
Lesbian index: 222

Davis CA:
Gay index: 133
Gay male index: 63
Lesbian index: 205

Eugene OR:
Gay index: 151
Gay male index: 97
Lesbian index: 206

Boulder CO:
Gay index: 138
Gay male index: 98
Lesbian index: 179

Ann Arbor MI:
Gay index: 156
Gay male index: 113
Lesbian index: 200

Madison WI:
Gay index: 183
Gay male index: 133
Lesbian index: 233

Iowa City IA:
Gay index: 142
Gay male index: 90
Lesbian index: 194

Larger cities with a large gay index:

Boston MA:
Gay index: 233
Gay male index: 285
Lesbian index: 178

Gay male index: 380
Lesbian index: 143

Chicago, IL
Gay index: 157
Gay male index: 186
Lesbian index: 128

Houston, TX
Gay index: 150
Gay male index: 169
Lesbian index: 131

Dallas, Texas
Gay Index: 196
Gay Male Index: 254
Lesbian Index: 136

Atlanta, GA
Gay index: 299
Gay male index: 419
Lesbian index: 175

Minneapolis, MN
Gay index: 287
Gay male index: 309
Lesbian index: 263

My WAG to this phenomenon: lesbians may be more likely than gay men to be in established relationships, so being in a community with a large dating pool isn't as important. Also, culturally speaking, lesbians may connect better with the crunchy/outdoorsy environment found in smaller cities better than gay men.

The lesbian population here is so large, it's ... well, normal. You don't see rainbow flags everywhere. I frequently walk past SSMs taking place at the clerk's office, and it's just no big deal anymore. What's interesting is that they're all F/F.

The demographic mystery here is that lesbians can't account for the entire gender imbalance in the 50+ crowd.
