Without looking at any data I’m guessing part of this is that married men end up with kids and can’t afford a home they want to raise kids in there.

Edit: also, school quality.

I'm from a different major North American city but the only married men I know who live within city boundaries either bought their residences 20+ years ago or were born/married into wealth. Everyone else moves to the suburbs once they get married or have kids because real estate in the city is unaffordable if you want 2+ bedrooms.
