Sin In the Cities

Forbes recently put together a pretty cool map rating major cities around the US and how they measure up according to the seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Philadelphia hit the map under the wrath catagory (see below) but none of the others. Here is how they did it:

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.
