Rhode Island, also known as the 'The Ocean State' has a population approaching
ten million. Some of the demographics we will examine below, such
as the ratio of men to women, as well as how many of these people are single,
should shed some light on the dating opportunities available to singles living
in Rhode Island. Being one of the least densely populated
states, Rhode Island
has many of its residents living
far away from one another. This can be both good and bad. Living near someone you
would be interested in dating gives you more opportunities to see one
another, but also the added pressure of dealing with congestion on the roads, as
well as at some of the places you might go out to. Web Personals Online

So what does all this data mean? Well, the largest percentage of singles are
white. RI is not a racially diverse state and therefore there are not very many interracial dating opportunities. The largest age demographic consists of single
men and women between 18 and 54 years of age. Prime dating age range
(20-34) comprises almost 19% of the total population of Rhode Island. Most
likely, the majority of RI personal ads will be from men and women in this age
range, although there is also a good percentage of seniors living in the 'The
Ocean State'. The ratio of men to women is almost even, with slightly more
females. This is true, in general, of most states as women tend to live
longer and the disparity between the two groups is usually made up of older
women (above 65).
