Mount Isa has ranked the fifth highest in Queensland sex ratios with 127.9 males to every 100 females, as stated in statistics released on August 29.
Mount Isa City Council mayor Joyce McCulloch was not surprised with the statistics.
"I guess because it is a mining community and mostly a male dominated industry," Cr McCulloch said.
"However we are not in the top three and I think that's due to working on equal opportunity in job placements especially in the mining industry."
Cr McCulloch said there was no issues with finding love in Mount Isa.
"I know there are a lot of professional woman in emergency services or teaching who came here for work, but while they are here have discovered their life long partner, so it has happened and will continue to happen."
