Las Vegas may be Nevada’s Sin City, but Cincinnati is Ohio’s.

A list of America’s “most sinful” cities, developed by personal finance website WalletHub, shows Ohio is home two three of the top 25 in the country, and another two in Ohio made the top 50.

To calculate the list of sinful cities, WalletHub considered a number of factors including but not limited to the number of casinos per capita, drug overdose deaths, debt and adult entertainm­ent venues per capita.

Cincinnati was ranked 12th-most sinful city in the nation, right behind Richmond, Virginia, at No. 11 and immediatel­y before Charleston, West Virginia, at No. 13, according to WalletHub. Las Vegas took the No. 1 spot while Orlando came in at No. 2 and Miami ranked No. 3.

Ohio’s second-most sinful city is Cleveland, which was ranked 18th nationally. Toledo came in third in the state and ranked 22nd nationally, according to WalletHub.

Columbus came in further down at 36th nationally, while Akron was 38th, making it the least sinful of the five Ohio cities that made the list.
