'Gayest' Neighborhoods: Most Gay And Lesbian Friendly Zip Codes Ranked By Trulia [View all]

I'm shocked! Rehobeth Beach, DE made the list and yet there aren't any neighborhoods from NYC.

Go figure.

America's 'Gayest' Neighborhoods: Most Gay And Lesbian Friendly Zip Codes Ranked By Trulia

Residents in San Francisco, Provincetown and Delaware's Rebobeth Beach have an extra-special reason to celebrate this LGBT Pride month, as zip codes within those cities have been named as some of the most gay and lesbian neighborhoods in the country.

In a new poll published by online real estate sales site Trulia, economist Jed Kolko used data from the 2010 U.S. Census to determine the nation's most gay-friendly neighborhoods, naming the top 10 areas with the highest concentration of same-sex male couples, and doing the same for female.

San Francisco's Castro district ranked high on both lists, topping the list for gay male couples and coming in tenth for lesbian couples. Similarly, Provincetown came in on top for women and third for men. Still, there were some interesting surprises -- at least to those not familiar with more suburban areas -- along the way.
