Did you know… that there is a sinful city index? A December 2016 news story from the website WalletHub.com listed America’s must sinful cities. Which do you think is the most sinful? If you guessed Las Vegas, you are right. Of the 150 most populated cities, Las Vegas was followed by St. Louis, Cincinnati, Orlando, and Springfield, Missouri. Aurora, Ill. placed at the bottom end at #139. The least sinful city in our country was San Jose, Calif.

The WalletHub listing was drawn from 27 indicators for evil deeds. Their data ranges from “violent crimes per capita” to “excessive drinking” to “potential cheaters.”

Major categories included “Anger & Hatred,” “Jealousy,” “Excesses & Vices,” “Avarice,” “Lust,” “Vanity,” and “Laziness.” The lust heading uses data about “Potential Cheaters,” “Adult Entertainment,” “Teens Birth Rate,” and “Most Active Tender Users.”

Under “Lust,” the city of Aurora was the least lustful in the country. It ranked 150^th out of 150 cities. It was followed by Pimbroke Pines, Fl., Santa Rosa, Calif., Huntington Beach, Calif., and Vancouver, Wash. The most lustful was Orlando.

WalletHub in September 2016 determined the most family-friendly places in America. WalletHub’s analysts again compared the 150 largest cities in the country across key metrics that take into account essential family dynamic. Aurora ranked 7^th overall.
