Did Any Local Cities Make List Of America's 'Most Sinful'?

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A real-estate website ranks the top 10 cities according to the "seven deadly sins." How did Philadelphia rank?

According to Truila.com, Philadelphia was ranked the top 3 U.S. city where people indulge in the seven deadly sins. They used statistics to rate the sins -- for example crime statistics for wrath and income and real estate disparities for envy.

So what do Philadelphians think about being ranked the top third sin city in the country?

"It's not necessarily accurate," said one Philadelphian.

Philadelphia scored 2 out of 100 in the wrath category.

"Crime has gone down a lot since I was a kid in Philadelphia," said another Philadelphian.

And 23 out of 100 for gluttony.

"For instance, the Philly Cheesesteak. That's why everyone comes to Philly," said a Philadelphian.

"Who doesn't love cheesesteaks?" said another.

"But we do have a lot of nice restaurants and different cafes for all different types of people, like vegetarians. Just everything! Whatever you want, we have it."

(Kuznits:) "So that's not necessarily a bad thing to get a gluttony rank of 23."

"No! I don't see it as a bad thing!"

Atlantic City, New Jersey was ranked No. 2, with New Orleans, Louisiana taking the top spot at No. 1.
