Maps Of Seven Deadly Sins In America

From the post:

Geographers from Kansas State University have created a map of the spatial distribution of the Seven Deadly Sins across the United States. How? By mapping demographic data related to each of the Sins.

Below are screenshots of the maps in standard deviation units; red naturally is more sinful, blue less sinful.

I’m not vouching for the accuracy of these maps. 😉

I could not find the original project, which was apparently a presentation at a geography conference in Las Vegas.

Has anyone mapped the levels in Dante’s Inferno to a U.S. map?

Based on crime and other socio-economic data?

That would be a real interesting map.

Although not the sort of thing you would find at the tourist bureau.
