A few quick questions, then the big reveal. Skip whatever you don't care about.
In Spain there are 21.2m adult women and 20m adult men. Among 25 to 34 year olds, 76.3% of men and 65.6% of women live without a partner. A young man here is 177 cm tall on average, a young woman 163 cm.
A single man aged 25 to 35, at least 180 cm tall, with a university degree: that is 1.6% of adult men, about 321,900. Rank 12 of 27 EU countries for the odds (EU average 1.4%).
A single woman aged 22 to 32, slim and a non-smoker: that is 5.3% of adult women, about 1,116,300. Rank 5 of 27 EU countries for the odds (EU average 4.1%).
Among 25 to 34 year olds, 2,168,000 men (76.3%) and 1,791,000 women (65.6%) live without a partner.
33.6% of men aged 25 to 34 are 180 cm or taller; the average is 177 cm. 17.1% of women are at least 170 cm.
It is a quick reality check for your standards. Pick what you want (age, height, income, education, build and more) and we work out how many such people actually live in Europe. You will see whether you are looking for a real person or a statistical unicorn.
Yes. It is a European take on the popular American calculator often called the female or male delusion calculator. Instead of the US census it uses Eurostat and other European sources, for the whole EU and for each country. It does not judge anyone; it just shows how rare the ideal you put together is.
The numbers are real, the model is simplified. Each trait is evaluated for every country, sex and year of age, so links between traits (taller people earning more on average, say) are not modelled. Treat the result as a good estimate, not an exact count.
How many adults meet your standards. 0 stars: more than half. 1: at least one in five. 2: roughly one in 5 to 20. 3: one in 20 to 100. 4: fewer than 1 in 100. 5: fewer than 1 in 1,000, which is unicorn hunting.
No. The calculation runs on the server and nothing is stored. Only your own browser remembers your last choices, and a result link contains nothing but the chosen criteria. No cookies, no tracking.
Once a month the latest Eurostat tables are downloaded automatically. The date of the last update is in the footer.
Each requirement is evaluated for one country, sex and single year of age, and the results are added up. Within one year of age the traits are treated as independent, except education, living with a partner, single parenthood and living with parents, which come from one joint census table. Real correlations (between height and income, or eye and hair colour) are not modelled, so the result is a good estimate rather than an exact count. The data stay on the server; the page only receives finished results.
