Iowa City: No. 1 for starting over

"No. 1 starting-over community: Iowa City, Iowa

Population: 150,000

This city is home to the University of Iowa, which helps contribute to its 4.7% jobless rate and 16.1% singles population.

Located on the Iowa River, Iowa City served as Iowa's territorial capital from 1841 to 1857, and the Old Capitol Building is still a local landmark.

"Iowa City really is a nice town," Sperling says. "It has an attractive downtown, a well-educated population and a great community feel to it."

Iowa City population is not 150,000. According to the 2010 census, all of Johnson County is only a shade over 130,000.

Or as Daniel Tosh would say, "the place to go when you have finally given up on your dreams."
