It would be interesting to know whether the gender imbalance in a given 
tango community reflects the gender imbalance in its city's population.

Here's a link to a map showing the gender imbalance of U.S. metropolitan 
areas.

It's from Richard Florida's book, Who's Your City?

Tango draws a very small subset of the population, and teaching methods 
filter the population.  So the gender imbalance in tango may or may not 
mirror that in the population.

With best regards,
Steve
