The two segments in Young City Solos contain younger and middle-aged singles living in city neighborhoods. More than 90 percent are unmarried.

While economic insecurity is one reason some singles avoid marriage and having children, these young professionals report above-average incomes topping $75,000 a year, and they seem to be thoroughly enjoying their unattached status.
