"According to figures broken down by study authors Amara Jones-Myers and Lydia Anderson, female same-sex couples made up just under one percent of U.S. coupled households in 2020, with the number of male same-sex couples coming in at 0.8%."
"While both male and female coupled households were often found in and around the main population centers of each state, coupled women gravitate toward smaller towns on average compared to coupled men, who reside in larger numbers than women in the country's biggest cities, all with larger LGBTQ+ populations."
"County-level maps show higher percentages of both types of same-sex couples in Florida, the Northeast, and on the West Coast. Counties in those areas also had the highest number of same-sex couples and counties with the highest percentage of same-sex coupled households, the data revealed."
"The top ten counties with the most same-sex couples overall were Los Angeles County; New York County (New York City); Cook County (home to Chicago); San Francisco County; Maricopa County (Phoenix); Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale); Harris County (Houston); King County (Seattle); Riverside County, California (Palm Springs); and San Diego County."
