Living single has pros and cons. One of the cons is loneliness.
Challenges of Living Single
The struggles of living single, particularly when people are ages 65 and older, include logistics, economic concerns and social isolation that can lead to loneliness.
A Pew Research report focusing on people ages 65 and up found that 36% of survey respondents were single…often widowed or divorced, not married, not living with a partner or not in a committed loving relationship. As the country ages, this demographic is swelling as people are living longer and prefer to “age in place.”

This Pew report used data from the site AgingInPlace.org to rank all 50 states plus the District of Columbia to determine the states in which residents were most and least likely to be lonely. The metrics used included the share of single-person households, the share of divorced and widowed residents, and the use of dating and friendship apps residents used in hopes of finding friendships and/or relationships.
Maine and Nevada tied as the states most prone to loneliness with the largest share of divorced people and the largest per capita rate of dating app searches. Florida, the go-to retirement state, came in second as the study’s most lonely state with its large cohort of widowed people and many older divorced singles.
The least lonely states were Utah with its lowest share of divorced people and Alaska with its unusually low number of widows and widowers.
