The 2020 United States census has proven what many in the LGBTQ+ community have long joked about. The data reveals that gay men in couples are drawn towards major cities, typically on the coasts, whereas lesbian couples prefer living in small towns and rural settings. The counties with the largest amount of partnered gay men included San Francisco, Manhattan, and Boston. San Francisco County had the highest percentage of gay men in couples, at nearly 6 percent. The counties with the most lesbian couples included the Berkshires, Mass.; Portland, Ore.; and Asheville, N.C. The Berkshires, a mountainous area of New England known for its colleges and fall foliage, had the highest concentration of lesbian households at almost 4 percent.
