This month cities all across the world are partaking in Gay Pride celebrations. Jed Kolko, the chief economist at Trulia, takes a look at the neighborhoods in the U.S. with the largest gay communities ("gayborhoods").

Using 2010 U.S. Census data, which lists 646,000 same-sex households, he calculated the neighborhoods with the largest percentage of same-sex male couples:

Hollywood SHOCKER: Major Star NOT Gay!!!

I grew up in Palm Springs myself. The place sure has changed.

It has changed, and not for the better. My mother in law grew up there as well, back when it still really was ‘the village’.

I’m a little surprised Minneapolis isn’t on the list...

There are also more Jews in NYC than in Isreal, your point is meaningless.

NYC having 3 times as many homosexuals living in higher density than San Francisco is not entirely meaningless. The AIDS virus infects twice the percentage of New York gays than it does San Francisco gays. I lived in the SF Bay area for many years and never thought NYC was a gay mecca until my first visit. I was surprised at the density of gays in some areas. The home address percentages don't tell the whole story.

"America's Gayest Neighborhoods"

[Stosh]

Lame definition of “neighborhood” - or he’s never been to Greenwich Village in NYC or Lincoln Park/Halsted Avenue (”Boystown”) neighborhood in Chicago.

This list is in no way accurate.

They totally overlooked Capitol Hill in Seattle.

AT LEAST 40-50% gay!

I’m not sure that Provincetown is the most lesbian city; that HAS to be Northhampton, MA, home of Smith College.

[Jack Hammer]

Provincetown, Massachusetts is only 5.1% homosexual???

That’s a little tough to believe...

[fwdude]

I’ll bet those “neighborhoods” are also the AIDSest “neighborhoods” in America too.

Count on it. I would bet that there are the highest concentration of HIV clinics in these vicinities, too.

I’m not in ‘em, that’s a relief.
