Method to determine the best cities for same-sex households in Pennsylvania for 2024
To determine the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in Pennsylvania, we analyzed data from Saturday Night Science and the 2013-2018 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census. We examined:
- Percentage of all households that are unmarried, same sex partners
We only analyzed non-CDPs that have more than 1,000 households. We assigned a ranking from 1 to 378 to each place based on the percentage of unmarried, same-sex partner households. The city with the highest percentage of these households is considered the most gay.
In the end, it turned out to be the place with the highest percentage of gay households, at 3.71%. If you want to see the list of all the places in the state ranked from the most LGBTQ+ friendly to the least, skip to the end. We have made changes to this report for the year 2024.
