Hot zones for single men?

It’s an urban legend repeated by cab drivers, echoed by bartenders and passed on by hairdressers. Anyone who has lived in Ottawa for a few months has probably heard the theory: 
Single women outnumber single men in the capital by a stunning 3:1 ratio.
The high proportion of women working in the federal public service skews the numbers, leaving armies of lonely spinsters unable to get a date and a happy cohort of bachelors to feast on the pick of the litter.

Or so the story goes. 


Around Ottawa, however, there are more single women in the city proper, while men cluster on the outskirts, with a few exceptions.

BLUE = Single Men
PINK = Single Women
