Where Did Minnesota Land On The List + Why?

Minnesota 'nice' may have played a role here. While Minnesota did come in second as the state with the largest share of the population with a gambling disorder, it didn't really do too much damage here.

Minnesota came in at number forty, meaning we are way closer to the 'least sinful' part of the country. For the most part, we do live simple lives and work hard so it all checks out.

What About Wisconsin?

Wisconsin is also surprisingly not too sinful! Wisconsin came in at number thirty-six on this list. It probably would have been even lower, except it placed in the top five for excessive drinking. Overall though, this isn't too shabby!

Which States Are The Most + Least Sinful?

This checks out! Nevada came in at number one, being named the most sinful state in the country. That makes sense considering Las Vegas is called Sin City. Enough said. Louisiana, California and Florida round out the top four, followed by Tennessee.
