Learn what each filter means.

One estimate uses two data sources.

One public Census survey gives age, income, education, and marital status. A separate U.S. health survey helps estimate height and body mass index (BMI).

This page explains: Each filter and its data source.

It cannot show: Who is dating, attracted, interested, or compatible.

CENSUS SURVEY

Age, income, education, and marital status counted together

2024 American Community Survey person records adjusted to represent the population.

HEALTH SURVEY

Height and body mass index estimated separately

Measured federal health data used for the estimate.

WHAT IT CANNOT SHOW

Who is available or a good match

A demographic group is not a list of compatible daters.

Not married does not mean available

Census marital status shows who is not currently married. It cannot show everyone who is unattached, seeking a relationship, or available to one searcher. Read the separate answers for men and women with the legal definition.

Check one demographic before you combine filters.

These source-based answers define height, income, and marital-status measures before they become calculator filters.
