Detroit Places 98th (Out Of 100) In Best Cities To Celebrate Valentine's Day

DETROIT, MI — Detroit is a tough town - especially on Valentine's Day. In fact, the city was rated 98th out of the 100 best cities to celebrate Valentine's Day in a new study by WalletHub, a personal finance website.

Researchers analyzed 100 of the biggest cities across America and measured them in four major areas: budget (i.e. average price of a bottle of wine), activities, (i.e. number of restaurants per capita), gift accessibility (i.e. number of greeting card stores per capita), and weather forecast (i.e. difference between projected and normal temperatures for Valentine's Day). Side note: All costs were adjusted to reflect each city's median household income.

So, what made Detroit unlovable? It earned poor marks all around, however the research found it's one of the most expensive cities in America to have a three course meal for two and extremely difficult to find gifts (it has some of the fewest jewelry stores per capita). Cupid, help!

Don't let the ranking put a damper on your Valentine's Day though. The romantic holiday is around the corner and love is in the air. Even in 98th place Detroit.

Here's a full list of the best cities to celebrate Valentine's Day from WalletHub.
