The results were based on eight metrics, beginning with the percentage of married people, the duration of their marriages, and the percentage of divorced people as well as the percentage of unmarried couples living together, the number of same-sex couples per thousand households, and the number of romantic restaurants, adult stores and wedding venues per person. San Francisco was the highest-scoring California city, coming in at number 10 on the national list. Sacramento just narrowly made the top 25, landing the 23rd spot.
