Dating
Wrapped.

The five main numbers use one U.S. population estimate. A separate survey covers dating spending and has its own group.

MEN1 IN 87

WOMEN1 IN 1 IN 1,593 OR RARER

The default U.S. filters cover ages 25–35, height of 6′0″ or taller, personal income of $100,000 or more, not currently married, and no current cigarette use. Census data counts age, income, and marital status together. National health data estimates height and cigarette use separately. These are population estimates. They do not count active daters or predict a match.

02 / EXAMPLE FILTERS1 IN 119

men

Ages 25–35, 6′0″ or taller, personal income of $100,000 or more, not currently married, and body mass index below 30.

03 / SAME FILTERS1 IN 1 IN 2,256 OR RARER

women

The six-foot result uses measured height data. There are too few measurements at the extreme end for an exact rate, so the result says “1 in X or rarer.”

04 / HEIGHT RANGE56–78″

range the calculator can use

The height filter stays within the measured NHANES range. The calculator withholds exact rates when the data are too thin at either end.

05 / WHEN DATA ARE THINNO

made-up exact rate

Some rates become very small. When the data are too thin, the model gives a cautious limit, such as “1 in X or rarer,” instead of claiming an exact rate.

The filter with the largest effect
The income minimum removes 89% of the men who would otherwise match. This is the filter with the largest effect.
A filter change you could test
Using 5′11″ or taller as the height minimum could include about 56% more people in the men’s estimate.

These are population estimates. They do not count active daters, measure compatibility, or predict a match. The 2024 ACS counts age, income, education, and marital status together. Separate CDC/NHANES 2021–2023 data provide height and BMI. CDC/NHIS 2024 data provide cigarette use. Model 2026.07-evidence-v3.

FAQ

What these numbers do not show.

What is Dating Wrapped 2026?+

It is an annual review that uses The Pool Report’s 2024 Census and CDC health estimates, plus separately cited 2026 dating-spend research. You can build a personal recap from your own filters. It is not a survey of the site’s users.

Does “My Wrapped” use my filters?+

Yes. The recap recalculates the same model in your browser from the filters you set. There is no account, no email capture, and nothing is stored. A shared link carries the filters in the URL, and the saved card carries its sources and model version.

Why does the edition use 2024 Census data?+

The calculator uses the latest American Community Survey (ACS) public Census data included in this release. The source year can differ from the year this page was published.

Are the men’s and women’s groups actual available daters?+

No. They are population estimates under a stated set of filters. The not-married filter does not show active dating, orientation, attraction, compatibility, or interest.

Can I add the filter percentages together?+

No. Each test changes one condition while the other conditions stay the same. The changes can overlap, so adding them could count some people more than once.
