With Easter Sunday around the corner and roughly 80 percent of all Americans expected to observe the holiday in some way, the personal-finance website WalletHub took a close look at 2017’s Best Places to Celebrate Easter. To find out which cities promise the most egg-citing time on Sunday, WalletHub’s number crunchers compared the 100 largest cities across 11 key metrics, ranging from Easter egg-hunt events per capita to Easter weather forecast. The top five, in order, were St. Louis, Birmingham (Ala.), Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Orlando. Cleveland was No. 9. Here are five by-the-numbers facts about Easter, courtesy of wallethub:

v First: Easter’s rank among the most popular church days of the year (51.9 percent of adults plan to attend)

v $152: Average Easter spending by each person celebrating

v 52.4 percent: Share of Americans who say the Easter bunny came before the Easter egg

v 88.7 percent: Share of Americans who believe the proper way to eat a chocolate Easter bunny is ears first

v 81 percent: Share of parents who steal Easter candy from their kids’ baskets

“Return of the Mac” (8:30 P.M., POP TV): “Return of the Mac” is a scripted comedy starring boy-band alum Joey McIntyre as a version of himself. Our guess is that he should be perfect for the role.
