Sex Ratios And Mating: Where Are The White Women At?

By Steve Sailer

iSteve commenter Almost Missouri does an interesting study on 2010 sex ratios among whites by county across the country from Census data:

The data were divided by sex (the Census hasn’t gotten the memo about 57 genders or whatever, thankfully), and it was apparent that the sexes weren’t evenly balanced geographically. So, as a public service to white — or other — readers who want to mate with whites, here is a synopsis of the US counties with most “extra” white women and white men. (“White” here means non-Hispanic white, as defined by the Census Bureau.) Hey, News You Can Use!

He then looked at gender ratios by county among non-Hispanics of age 15-39. (I’d have gone with the 20-39 buckets, but the larger one catches prime military enlistment ages.)

… I decided to check the age cohorts of the surplus men and women. It turns out that while restricting the age cohorts to the 15-39 prime fertility window makes almost no difference for men, it completely overturns the result for women! Apparently those Rust Belt women were those who outlived their men but can’t afford or don’t want to retire to the Sun Belt.

So where the young white wimmenz at? Read on…

New York County • New York • 16934 • 110.6% • Manhattan
District of Columbia • District of Columbia • 6243 • 109.5% •
Suffolk County • Massachusetts • 5865 • 106.6% • Boston
Kings County • New York • 5017 • 102.6% • Brooklyn
Hampshire County • Massachusetts • 3606 • 115.0% • Amherst, lesbian mecca
Davidson County • Tennessee • 3562 • 104.4% • Nashville
Marion County • Indiana • 2437 • 102.7% • Indianapolis
Orange County • North Carolina • 2388 • 112.9% • Chapel Hill
Guilford County • North Carolina • 2166 • 105.7% • Greensboro
DeKalb County • Georgia • 2105 • 105.7% • metro-Atlanta
New Hanover County • North Carolina • 1963 • 106.8% • Wilmington
Harrisonburg city • Virginia • 1794 • 120.9% • Shenandoah Valley
Boone County • Missouri • 1783 • 106.1% • Columbia
Pitt County • North Carolina • 1686 • 109.4% • Greenville
Jefferson County • Alabama • 1678 • 103.2% • Birmingham
McLean County • Illinois • 1593 • 106.4% • Bloomington
Multnomah County • Oregon • 1547 • 101.5% • Portland
Philadelphia County • Pennsylvania • 1522 • 101.4% •
Essex County • Massachusetts • 1486 • 101.9% • metro-Boston

The first observation here is that almost all of these places are east of the Mississippi. Apparently the West is still too Wild as far as young women are concerned. Second observation is that blue city skankopolises have deep reserves of young white women: NYC, DC, Boston, Portland, Philly, etc. NYC by itself dwarfs the rest of the list.

But there is also a heretofore undetected seam of women in the central and southern Piedmont: Nashville, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, DeKalb, Wilmington NC, Harrisonburg, Greenville NC, Birmingham. Finally, there are few semi-obscure flyover daisies: Indianapolis, Columbia MO, Bloomington IL. Outside of the metropolises, it seems young white women cluster around second- or third-tier college towns.

Almost Missouri sent me his data and I looked up various interesting counties on Wikipedia. Here are his numbers for large and/or skewed counties, with my top-of-the-head guesses for why they have more 15-to-39-year-old white women than white men (over 100%) or vice-versa (under 100%):

A few comments:

The military moves a lot of young white men from their home counties in Scots-Irish and other patriotic working class places like the Appalachians to military bases. There are others who head to do resource extraction work in energy booms and the like. That leaves a young white women surplus in the Southeast, many of whom move to local college towns to study.

There’s a flow of young white women to wealthy cities such as New York County (Manhattan), where the odds are even worse than the reported 111% because of a lot of the men are gay.

Nashville is a conservative entertainment industry town with excess white women. Interestingly, Los Angeles has an F to M ratio of only 94%

Tech boomtowns like Santa Clara County, CA (Silicon Valley) have excess white men.

A couple of curious counties are two of the most beautiful, Boulder CO and Santa Barbara CA, which have big surpluses of young white men. I’m guessing ski bums and surf bums tend to be male. There’s something a little monastic about their pursuits of their superb sports.

In general, the western half of the U.S. has a surplus of young white men. I’m guessing one driving factor for this somewhat surprising finding is that they have a lot of young Asian women. Do Asian women drive white women out of the West or cause white men to move West?

Or maybe the military sends young men out west and they like the climate and stay?

But I haven’t explored these questions in much depth since 1997.
