ORLANDO | WalletHub, a credit report website, named Orlando the second most sinful city in the U.S., behind only the self-proclaimed “Sin City,” Las Vegas.
The study looked at 182 cities in the U.S. across seven key dimensions: Anger & Hatred, Jealousy, Excesses & Vices, Greed, Lust Vanity and Laziness. Orlando ranked within the top 10 of Lust, Jealousy and most disturbingly, Anger & Hatred, where Orlando ranked fifth.
The Anger & Hatred score was based on violent crimes per capita, sex offenders per capita, bullying rates, hate-crime incidents per capita and hate groups per capita.
There are currently 22 hate groups in the Central Florida area, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, several which are anti-LGBTQ including the well known Liberty Council.
Other Florida cities that are sinful according to WalletHub include Miami at number three and Tampa at number nine; with Fort Lauderdale, Tallahassee and Jacksonville all appearing in the top 100.
