Cheshire Police released the statistic as they launched a campaign to urge male victims to report abuse.
Officers said they were raising the issue in the run-up to Valentine's Day, "when relationships are at the forefront of everyone's mind".
Information about help will be in GP surgeries, community centres, shops and sports centres.
Assistant Chief Constable Phil Thompson said: "Domestic abuse knows no boundaries and it can happen to anyone at any time regardless of gender, age and sexuality.
"Men in particular find it hard to speak out if they are being abused, but we want to reassure anyone who may be suffering at the hands of another, that domestic abuse is an issue that we take extremely seriously - whatever time of the year.
"Traditionally the emphasis has been on female victims of abuse but it is important to highlight the fact that many victims of domestic abuse are also men.
"By bringing this important issue to the front of people's minds we hope that it will encourage any men to have the confidence in contacting us if they want to end the cycle of abuse."

The industry lobby group the British Retail Consortium and KPMG said sales had risen 5.6% since April 2016 - up from a fall of 1% in March.
Food spending accounted for most of the growth, but shoppers were more cautious about other items.
The BRC said consumer spending would slow as inflation climbed.
Chief executive Helen Dickinson OBE said: "The positive distortion from the timing of Easter was largely responsible for the month's growth and looking to the longer-term signs of a slowdown, the outlook isn't as rosy."
According to the research, sales of food and drink soared over the long Easter weekend boosting total spending.
Over the three months to April, total food sales increased by 3.6% - much faster than the 12-month average of 2% growth, it found.
However, quarterly sales of non-food items grew more slowly at 0.7%.
Exceptions included sales of children's clothes and toys and furniture, although researchers said these rises were seasonal.
According to official statistics, UK retail sales posted their biggest quarterly fall in seven years in March, as the prices of everyday goods continued to climb.
The value of the pound has slumped by around 14% against the dollar since the EU referendum last June, pushing up the price of imported goods. This threatens to derail a consumer spending boom that has underpinned economic growth since the referendum.
Ms Dickinson said: "Although today's figures do indicate that consumers are still willing to spend, with a cocktail of rising costs and slowing wage growth as the backdrop, conditions for consumers will get tougher."

His departure comes amid plans to cut about 1,200 jobs as part of a "strategic change" plan.
Woolworths is looking to cut millions of dollars in costs and improve sales after its first-half profits fell.
It hopes to win back customers from rivals such as Coles and Aldi by lowering prices and improving stores.
The retailer recently trimmed its profit guidance for the year to June, which would be only the second fall in annual profits for the company.
Since going public, the only other year that Woolworths' annual profits fell was 1999.
"The recent performance has been disappointing and below expectations. I believe it is in the best interests of the company for new leadership to see these plans to fruition," Mr O'Brien said.
Woolworths said it would start the search for a new chief executive. The company's head of retail services, Penny Winn, will also quit.
Shares in Woolworths rose by 2.4% in Sydney trading following the news.
