Every state has its issues, but according to a new report, some are bigger sinners than others.
On Tuesday, WalletHub published a report that ranked all 50 states on sinfulness.
For its report, the personal finance website analyzed the states based on metrics in seven categories including anger and hatred, jealousy, excesses and vices, greed, lust, vanity and laziness.
WalletHub used 47 metrics within those categories including hate groups per capita, thefts per capita, share of adult smokers, persons arrested for embezzlement per capita, average time spent on adult entertainment sites, beauty salons per capita and share of adults not exercising.
