Seven Deadly Sins Maps

Posted February 19th @ 1:40 pm by Chris Salzman Print This Post

Forbes.com has some nifty-looking maps up that you might find interesting. The subject matter, however, is not nifty.

They showcase which cities are most involved with each of the seven deadly sins.

We have unveiled the American city that has fallen the farthest from grace in each of the seven deadly sins ( lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, wrath, envy and pride). 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. Some of the results were surprising: Salt Lake City as America’s Vainest City. Some were not: Detroit as America’s Most Murderous.

I did a screengrab of a few of them that highlight my state (Michigan):

Thoughts on this? How is your state/city doing?
