Researchers say southern NH is greedy, but avoids the other six deadly sins
Filed under General by david brooks at 12:09 pm
The Kansas State University Geography department mapped county-by-county data of various types to measure the prevalence of the “seven deadly sins” throughout the country. New Hampshire was bad only in the “greed” category, in which they measured high-income folks vs. those in poverty. Wired.com has a good little summary here. The accompanying map taken from that article shows red in the places with high income inequality, green in places with low inequality.
Other sins measured included gluttony (number of fast-food restaurants per capita), envy (total thefts per capita) and lust (sexually-transmitted diseases per capita).
