These Missouri Cities Are Some Of The Most Sinful In America, Study Says

Las Vegas has long held its “Sin City” reputation, but some Missouri cities aren’t that innocent either.

WalletHub, a personal finance site, released a study Monday (December 7) ranking the most sinful cities in America. The study compared 182 cities, accounting for 37 “key indicators of evil deeds.”

“From beer-loving Milwaukee to hedonistic New Orleans, the U.S. is filled with people behaving illicitly,” WalletHub’s study reads. “No place is innocent. We all have demons.”

St. Louis cracked the top 5, coming in at the No. 3 most sinful city in America.

Here are the Missouri cities that are some of the most sinful in the U.S.:

• No. 3: St. Louis, MO
• No. 45: Kansas City, MO
• No. 51: Springfield, MO

In a six-way tie for No. 1 in the study’s “anger and hate” category, St. Louis was also found to have the most violent crimes per capita.

Other cities on that list include:

• Detroit, MI
• Memphis, TN
• Baltimore, MD
• Cleveland, OH
• St. Louis, MO
• Birmingham, AL

Also ranking in the “jealousy” category, two Missouri cities tied for the No. 1 most thefts per capita:

• Springfield, MO
• Oakland, CA
• Albuquerque, NM
• St. Louis, MO
• Birmingham, AL
• Spokane, WA
