Now that I’m getting married to a wonderful woman, I don’t really have to worry about it, but when a recent newspaper article mentioned a Web site that can help people pick a neighborhood in which to live based on the number of single people there (along with several other factors), I was intrigued.

So I took a quick trip over to www.cyberhomes.com to check it out. And the Web site confirmed what I had known all along – there really aren’t that many single people in my age group in Jordan. According to the site, there are only about 1,300 single folks who call Jordan home, a number that seems unusually high to me. Of course, that’s compared to the almost 3,000 residents listed as married on the site.

But the single-married situation wasn’t all that I found interesting about Jordan. Here are some other fun facts according to the site:

• People ages 30-39 represent the largest portion of Jordan’s population, with folks ages coming in a close second.
• The most popular job among Jordan residents is sales – 551 residents listed that as their career with the next highest career choice being office or administrative work with 528.
• The most common household income range is between $60,000 and $70,000.
• Jordan’s employment rate has gone steadily up over the last five years while the number of building permits issued has gone steadily down in that same time frame.
• Jordan recorded 196 sunny days last year, well over the Minnesota average of 189.
• Only three people listed that they biked to work, while a whopping 2,939 drive to work alone. The majority of drivers commute more than one hour to work each day.

It’s pretty interesting to read about Jordan. Check out the site at www.cyberhomes.com [1].
