Ten Most Sinful Cities in the US

Ranking sin
The 150 most populous cities in America were analyzed according to seven key sinful factors: 1) anger and hatred, 2) jealousy, 3) excesses and vices, 4) avarice, 5) lust, 6) vanity and 7) laziness.
In its research, WalletHub utilized 27 relevant metrics that carry their own respective weight based on a 100-point scale. The numbers were then crunched by researchers to reveal he highest- and lowest-ranked cities when it comes to various vices.
Living up to its name, Sin City claimed the number-one ranking overall. Here is a look at the top 10 with the lowest morality rates, with their overall “vice index” score in parenthesis (the lower, the better).
1.   Las Vegas, Nevada (63.6)
2.   St. Louis, Missouri (59.0)
3.   Cincinnati, Ohio (57.0)
4.   Orlando, Florida (56.7)
5.   Springfield, Missouri (54.
6.   Miami, Florida (52.
7.   Richmond, Virginia (52.7)
8.   Baton Rouge, Louisiana (52.6)
9.   Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (52.1)
10. New Orleans, Louisiana (51.9)
Surprising to many, New York City and Los Angeles – America’s two most populous cities – fell well outside the top 100 most sinful cities. The Big Apple finished 131th and the City of Angels registered at 137th.
Despite this finding, Gonzalez stressed that the ranking is by no means an indication that large cities are less susceptible to vice than smaller ones.
"Las Vegas, for instance, is No. 1 – smaller than New York City and Los Angeles, yes – but by no means a small city," Gonzalez explained.


10 least-sinful cities
When analyzing the data further, out of the 150 cities analyzed, many the 10 that ranked lowest in sin – and highest in moral behavior – are in California. Take a look – again, the vice index is noted in parenthesis …
1.  San Jose, California (26.4)
2.  Fremont, California (28.3)
3.  Yonkers, New York (29.0)
4.  Brownsville, Texas (30.6)
5.  Chula Vista, California (30.
6.  Garden Grove, California (31.2)
7.  Santa Ana, California (31.2)
8.  Irvine, California (31.3)
9.  Glendale, California (31.4)
10. Santa Clarita, California (32.2)
Following the trend for the Golden State of having comparably less sinful behavior per capita, Anaheim – the home of Disneyland – came in a close 11th place.

Florida is always going to be a dangerous place. It's always hot there, crime is rampant there.

[Sawman214]

I think that California tops that

[nmbrown863]

Yes. I am not suprised. Vegas being number one.

[dwiley11]

California is always worse

   Protect yourself...do not let anyone fool you!

After watching Florida on LivePD, that doesn't surprise me at all. :x

    Google: Most dangerous cities in the USA.
    There is a lot of information to read.
    It is all very interesting!

[mrisha]

Florida isn't the only state that is sinful.  I am sure there are so many other states that are more sinful.  You just have to do more research.

[jenniferhoder]

That's very interesting. I wouldn't have thought that!

[Nancy5]

I'm super surprised New York wasn't on it.

There is good and bad everywhere. I kind of wonder how 'sin' was defined. Was it sin as defined by the bible? Were the ten commandments cited? Did it revolve around the seven deadly sins(pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath sloth)? I have lived in Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida and Colorado. I have visited every state except Hawaii and Alaska. You can find Sin everywhere but I think that the first place to find sin is by looking within an individual, not by labeling a geographic area. Nevada has legalized prostitution (not in Las Vegas), Arizona has a large pornography industry, Florida and Texas have higher concentrations of Human Trafficking, New Mexico and California have drug and gang problems. I prefer to focus on the positives in life, living a clean life, and being a positive role model to those I love.

The most SINFUL city and the most DANGEROUS city are probably not gonna be the same.  And it depends on WHO does the survey as to what answers they will receive or what results they will get.
