There are a number of party hot spots in Kansas.
For example, Manhattan, Kansas 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 Kansas if you wanted to hook up with someone.
After analyzing 28 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 Kansas.
Don’t freak out.

You might be thinking, “Emporia?!” Why haven’t I gone there before?
Well if you live in Emporia, 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 Kansas 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 Kansas, according to science? That would be Andover. More on that later.

Methodology: How we crunched the numbers for getting laid in the Sunflower 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 Kansas, 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 2018-2022 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Kansas. 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 Kansas, that meant a total of 28 cities.
This article is based on facts and is meant as infotainment. We updated this article for 2024, and it’s our tenth time ranking the easiest cities to get laid in Kansas.
