Dating isn't always easy, even with the prevalence of apps and online sites promising everlasting love. If you're have trouble finding "the one," it may actually be because of where you live as some singles may have a harder time looking for love in certain cities than they would in others.

WalletHub compared over 180 cities around the country to figure out which are the best (and the worst!) for singles. While you may expect major destinations like New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago to top the list, the real rankings may come as a surprise. Nine cities in Arizona made the list, with a couple locales ranking among the worst:

No. 16: Tucson
No. 23: Phoenix
No. 28: Chandler
No. 40: Tempe
No. 44: Scottsdale
No. 52: Mesa
No. 81: Glendale
No. 122: Gilbert
No. 167: Peoria

Coming in at No. 167 overall, Peoria was the lowest-ranking Grand Canyon State destination on the list, making it one of the worst in the country for singles. Gilbert was the second-lowest Arizona city on the list, though it had high marks in the economics category. Tucson, on the other hand, ranked highest on the list, earning high marks in the fun & recreation category.

These are the 10 best cities for singles:

Atlanta, Georgia
Las Vegas, Nevada
Seattle, Washington
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Tampa, Florida
Portland, Oregon
Madison, Wisconsin
Cincinnati, Ohio
Denver, Colorado
Austin, Texas

To determine its ranking, WalletHub compared 182 U.S. cities across three factors: economics, fun & recreation and dating opportunities. These factors were then evaluated using 35 relevant metrics, including restaurant-meal costs, movie costs, haircut costs, housing affordability, unemployment rate, number of attractions, restaurants per capita, weather, nightlife options per capita, safety, share of single population and online dating opportunities, among others.
