2019’s Most Sinful Cities in America

Las Vegas isn’t the only “Sin City” in America. In other cities, bad things happen and stay there, too. From beer-loving Milwaukee to hedonistic New Orleans, the U.S. is filled with people behaving illicitly. No place is innocent. We all have demons.

But at some point, we all have to pay for our vices. Gambling addiction, for instance, leads to $100 billion in losses for U.S. consumers every year. In 2017, identity theft and fraud took a toll of $16 billion. And every year, smoking burns a $300 billion hole in Uncle Sam’s wallet.

Luckily for the saints among us, all American sins are not created, or distributed, equally. In order to identify the darkest corners of America, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 37 key indicators of evil deeds. Our data set ranges from violent crimes per capita to excessive drinking to adult entertainment establishments per capita. Read on to see the baddest of the bad cities, the full ranking, and additional insight from a panel of experts.

Same observation of NO. Filth. We couldn’t enjoy a walk down Bourbon Street without trannies fawning all over Mr. b. Peaking in the eateries was enough to skip lunch. We headed back to our friends’ house and ordered Domino’s and stayed inside the remainder of our vacation.

You’ve noticed that it’s a “Highway to Hell”, but a “Stairway to Heaven” too, have you? ;-)

I was surprised that San Francisco ranked as low as number 26 on the list. I would have put it in the top five.

How is Washington, DC not at the top of this list?

No categories for bribery / pedophilia / cannibalism apparently.

Where is the abortion rank?

Where is the homosexuality rank?

Where is the child molestation rank?

They are missing out on quite a few very serious sins. But that is politically correct.
