Forbes ranked and mapped cities based on the seven deadly sins. (Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride).
While the interactive map isn’t all that complex, it’s an interesting and enjoyable way to discover what Forbes believes to be America’s most sinful cities.
“For each sin we stretched our imagination to find a workable proxy–murder rates for wrath, per capita billionaires for avarice–then culled the available data sources to rank the cities.”
I’ve lived in and around Washington DC all my life…. maybe it’s the allure of a sinful city?
Washington DC Ranks:
- Avarice – #9
- Greed isn’t confined to money… Power?
- Lust – #6
- I can only conclude that I must not be hanging out with the right crowd
- Wrath – #7
- Hmmm… well, we do have SouthEast DC
So where’s Vegas? Las Vegas only ranks in the top ten in one category, Sloth (#3).

Vegas only ranked for sloth? I question your sample size!
Either that or the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is apparently not doing their job.
How accurate is this?
