These 2 Connecticut Cities Are Among Nation's Most Sinful: Report

Can you guess which Connecticut cities are among WalletHub's list of 2017's most sinful?

Looking for a little something naughty? Cross Connecticut off your list. Of 182 "sinful" cities in the United States, only two are located in the Constitution State, according to a recent report from personal finance website WalletHub.

In fact, neither of Connecticut's two contributions to "2o17's Most Sinful Cities in America" cracked the top 100. New Haven came in at #101, and Bridgeport at #157.

"So in order to identify the darkest corners of America, WalletHub’s data crunchers compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 32 key indicators of evil deeds. Our data set ranges from violent crimes per capita to excessive drinking to potential cheaters."
