An analysis by WalletHub ranks levels of harmful behavior across the US
A new study conducted by WalletHub used 43 indicators of immorality to rank each state in the U.S. according to their sinfulness.
Analysts used information like crime statistics and substance abuse data to calculate the scoring, and asked a panel of experts to weigh in on the results based on the seven deadly sins: anger/hatred, jealousy, excesses/vices, greed, lust, vanity and laziness.

California came in third overall, ranking second in "lust" and third in "vanity." But in the category of "excesses and vices," the Golden State came in at 47th.
Only four states have more beauty salons per capita than California: New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
