I live close to this region, a few miles away from that county. Actually, Sarasota County has identical median age range to my county. This article says dating is bad in those two counties, but even on OLD there are many more women in those two counties as I've gotten a couple OLD dates from there. But anyway, that area is very similar demographics wise to me and very close to me.
My city however has a median age of 66!
Apartment List surveyed 20,000 single renters across the country from Feb. 15, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2019, asking them how they would rate their current city or neighborhood in terms of opportunities to date. Every metro area interviewed a minimum of 25 people, including both heterosexual and LGBTQIA respondents.
This conclusion will likely shock no one in the area who is single, especially if you’re under the age of 30. I’m not sure what the dating scene is like here if you’re a single senior citizen, but I have to imagine it’s better since the local population skews older.
The median age in Sarasota County is 55.5 years old, compared to 41.9 in Florida as a whole, according to the 2018 American Community Survey. In Manatee County, the median age is 48 years old.
