It had me thinking, what makes a city truly sinful? Is it the number of late-night bars?

The number of casinos? The list could go on.

A recent study by Wallet Hub took a deep dive into what defines sinfulness across the United States.

“To identify the darkest corners of America, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 37 key indicators of vices and illicit behavior. Our data set ranges from violent crimes per capita to excessive drinking and the number of adult entertainment establishments per capita.” - Wallet Hub

The results might surprise you.

Interestingly, Pennsylvania, a state better known for cheesesteaks, history, and sports, managed to snag not one but two spots on this list.

You wouldn’t necessarily think of it as a sinful state, but apparently, two Pennsylvania cities beg to differ.
