The 10 Easiest Cities To Get Laid In Illinois For 2023


We used Saturday Night Science to determine the cities in Illinois where you can get down.

There are a number of party hot spots in Illinois.

For example, Chicago, Illinois has been called one of the biggest party towns in the nation. And you can see why. It has many college kids, a very young population, and frankly, there’s a huge bar scene.

But is it the best city to score in? The purpose of this post is to use Saturday Night Science and data to determine which places are the easiest you could go in Illinois if you wanted to hook up with someone.

After analyzing 200 of the state’s most populous areas (over 10,000 people), we came up with this list as the ten easiest places to get laid in the state of Illinois.

Don’t freak out.

You might be thinking, “Evanston?!” Why haven’t I gone there before?

Well if you live in Evanston, you’re probably already aware of the pure excitement level, based on the criteria we list below. And if you’re not already regularly hooking up there. Well, then there’s nothing we can do about that.

Read on below to see how we crunched the numbers and see how the places in Illinois near you fared. We’ve got the complete list of the most populous cities below so you know where to go and where to avoid on your next road trip.

The hardest place to get lucky in Illinois, according to science? That would be Yorkville. More on that later.

Methodology: How we crunched the numbers for getting laid in the Prairie State

We know we are answering a bar topic with this one, but that’s exactly why we use Saturday Night Science.

To rank the chances where you’re most likely to get laid in Illinois, we had to determine what criteria help people hook up. It isn’t a stretch to assume that people will get frisky with plenty of young singles, areas where people aren’t married and have kids, and areas with lots of adult things to do.

With that in mind, we used the most recent 2017-2021 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Illinois. And we paired it up with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 and colleges from IPEDS.

Can’t really get any better data than that.

We paid particular attention to:

  • Population density
  • % of population that’s female (More females than males)
  • % of unmarried people in each city
  • % of households with kids in each city
  • Colleges per capita
  • Bars per capita

We then gave each city a “Chance To Get Laid Score.”

The higher the score, the better the city is for getting lucky. We also limited our results to cities with over 10,000 people. For Illinois, that meant a total of 200 cities.

This article is based on facts and is meant as infotainment. We updated this article for 2023, and it’s our tenth time ranking the easiest cities to get laid in Illinois.
