Any town with a national lab:

A college town in North Dakota or Alaska (which have the highest male:female ratio of all states)
But generally people want to stay where they are. So are you willing to move to one of these places if you meet someone? Or maybe that's not your goal and that's cool too!
Curious why Huntsville AB?
NASA has a big space center there
Fun fact— the NASA center in Houston was going to be in Cambridge MA but after Kennedy’s assassination Johnson moved it to Texas.
Not true.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Space_Center
"To meet the growing needs of the US human spaceflight program, plans began in 1961 to expand its staff to its own organization, and move it to a new facility. This was constructed in 1962 and 1963 on land donated by the Humble Oil company through Rice University, and officially opened its doors in September 1963"
Kennedy was killed in November 1963. The article goes into the siting history.
"According to Texas A&M University historian Henry C. Dethloff, "Although the Houston site neatly fit the criteria required for the new center, Texas undoubtedly exerted an enormous political influence on such a decision. Lyndon B. Johnson was Vice President and head of the Space Council, Albert Thomas headed the House Appropriations Committee, Bob Casey and Olin E. Teague were members of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics, and Teague headed the Subcommittee on Manned Space Flight. Finally, Sam Rayburn was Speaker of the House of Representatives."[10]"
