Early marriage, thinner pool
Dallas–Fort Worth has the lowest share of unmarried young adults on our list: 59.7% of men and 51.2% of women aged 25–34. In Los Angeles those numbers are 75% and 67.6%. With 8.0 million residents, the metro has fewer young singles than its size suggests.
At 25–34 there are 115 unmarried men per 100 women, but by 35–44 it's 97: more unmarried women than men. Along with Washington, DC, that's the lowest of the ten metros. Most others keep a surplus of men at that age.
25.6% of men with earnings make $100k or more (US: 22.6%), and 13.2% of women do (US: 12.5%).
Our calculator uses national single rates, so for Dallas it may slightly overestimate the pool at older ages. Take a man aged 30–40, 6′0″ or taller, earning $100k+: the estimate is about 7,710, and the real figure is probably a little lower.
