Fort Lauderdale beat every big city at growing its gay and lesbian population between 2000 and 2010. During that time span, the portion of households containing same-sex partners increased more in the South Florida city than in all other cities of similar or greater size.

We included only towns with a 2010 population of at least 100,000 in order to control […]

The National Association of Realtors, meanwhile, also reported a decrease in inventory in many markets compared […]
