America's Most Sinful Cities

Looks like Forbes is cashing in on the "Top 10" mania with this less than rigorous look at the top US cities for each of the seven deadly sins.

I will just list the top 3 for each sin. You can check the complete list at Forbes.

Most Lustful Cities
Seems to be measured in terms of condom and contraceptive sales.
1. Denver
2. (joint) San Antonio
2. (joint) Portland

Greediest Cities
Avarice measured by the per capita personal fortunes.
1. San Jose
2. San Francisco
3. Seattle

Most Jealous Cities
Envy measured by the highest crime rates.
1. Memphis
2. Charlotte
3. San Antonio

Most Murderous Cities
Wrath as measured by murder rates.
1. Detroit
2. Baltimore
3. New Orleans

Most Obese Cities
Gluttony measured by the fattest cities.
1. Memphis
2. Birmingham
3. San Antonio

Most Slothful Cities
Couch potatoes, TV dinners and no exercise counting as slothful.
1. Memphis
2. New Orleans
3. Las Vegas

America's Vainest Cities
Sales of beauty products, trips to health spas and generally pampering seem to count as pride.
1. Salt Lake City
2. San Francisco
3. (joint) San Diego
3. (joint) San Jose

Well, there you go! Places to avoid and cities to head for, depending, of course, on your particular weakness.
