At AAG: Mapping Seven Deadly Sins in Nevada, US

Remember the seven deadly sins? Kansas State geography research associate Thomas Vought presented a paper for a team that mapped them for the state of Nevada and the whole country based publicly available data. “For example, Greed was calculated by comparing average incomes with the total number of inhabitants living beneath the poverty line….Envy was calculated using the total number of thefts — robbery, burglary, larceny and stolen cars. Wrath was calculated by comparing the total number of violent crimes — ... — reported to the FBI per capita.”
