The "Best Cities for Singles" rankings rush out every Valentine's Day, and while San Antonio doesn't usually make the cut, that doesn't mean the singles scene here is dead.

You just have to know where to find them.

So we did. Using U.S. Census Bureau data from the 2013 American Community Survey we mapped the distribution of what are technically deemed "singles" in San Antonio.

Consider this San Antonio's uber-local "Best ZIP Codes for Singles" list.

If you are single, you will probably have better luck finding a match closer to downtown, where the ZIP codes with the highest percent of singles are concentrated — as much as 96 percent single in one case.

Admittedly, there are some funny twists to this sort of "singles" status analysis.

For one, the census doesn't care if you have been going steady with your corazón for two years and you might get married someday. To the census, if you are not currently married then you are technically single.

So our slice of "singles" on the map includes those who have never been married, widowed, divorced and separated, according to census data.

The second funny thing about this spread is the population slice the Census Bureau includes in marital status data: the population 15 years old and older.

There are likely historical reasons for this age range, but in our modern day it does seem strange to have so many "single" 15-18 year olds included in such data.

The beauty of this sort of map is that it crosses San Antonio's income level lines. Everybody needs love and at least this gives San Antonio singles an idea where potential partners are located.
