WalletHub just unleashed their annual study on the most sinful cities in the U.S., based on stats that correspond to the seven deadly sins.
Obviously, Las Vegas, “Sin City” is #1. Chicago came in at #9 behind Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, L.A., Houston and, of course, Vegas.
Wallethub did a breakdown, by sin that didn’t include the Windy City, but is still pretty interesting…
1. Wrath, based on things like violent crimes and shootings. The top city is St. Louis.
2. Jealousy, based on things like fraud and identity theft. The top city is Little Rock, Arkansas.
3. Gluttony, based on things like obesity rates, binge drinking rates, and drug use. The top city is St. Louis again.
4. Greed, based on things like casinos and lower charity numbers. The top city is Reno, Nevada.
5. Lust, based on things like strip clubs per capita and porn searches. The top city is Houston.
6. Vanity, based on things like tanning salons and plastic surgery. The top city is Los Angeles.
7. Sloth, based on things like exercise rates and average work hours. The top city is Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
