NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) — When it comes to being sinful, four cities in Hampton Roads make the list...well, a list. WalletHub put together 2019's Most Sinful Cities in America. Among those in our area, Norfolk scored highest.
Keep in mind, out of the 182 ranked cities, Norfolk placed 157, so it's not exactly a hotbed of sinfulness on the list. Newport News came in at 172. Virginia Beach placed 174, and Chesapeake was the final city from Hampton Roads to score. It was 178.
Richmond was the highest-ranked city in Virginia at 53. Washington, D.C was 23 on the list.
