CHICAGO — Chicago has the 15th highest rate of same-sex marriages between men among all cities in the United States, based on a study looking at tax records.
The U.S. Treasury looked at tax filings through 2014 and found the 0.68 percent, or 1 in every 147 joint tax filings in Chicago were filed by married male-only couples.
In San Francisco, the top city on that list, 3.2 percent of married joint filers were both male.
Chicago didn't make the top 20 list of female same-sex spouses filing their taxes together.
In late August, Cook County passed the 10,000 mark of issuing same-sex marriage licenses since it became legal in the county in February 2014.
Of those, more than half were issued in Chicago itself, with Andersonville, Edgewater, Uptown, Lakeview and Rogers Park having the most same-sex couples, male or female. But data shows that for every two female same sex marriages in Chicago, there are three male ones.
There are fewer lesbian married couples than gay male ones even in Andersonville.
