Findthehome.com compiled a “vice” list of counties across the United States, taking into account the number of liquor stores, casinos, and adult entertainment businesses contained within an individual county. Some of what was found about Arkansas may or may not surprise you – for example, Crittenden County (home of West Memphis and Southland Gaming Complex) was given an average ranking and didn’t make the top ten!
According to information analyzed by Findthehome.com, Chicot County has 72% more"vice" businesses than average for Arkansas on a per capita basis and 43% more than the United States as a whole.
Miller County has 2.6 times as many "vice" businesses than average for Arkansas on a per capita basis and 2.2 times as many compared to the United States as a whole.
Based on information from Findthehome.com, Desha County has 2.7 times as many "vice" businesses than average for Arkansas on a per capita basis and 2.3 times as many compared to the United States as a whole.

On a per capita basis, Garland County has 2.3 times as many "vice" businesses than average for Arkansas and 94% more than the United States as a whole.
Honorable (or dishonorable?) mention goes to Baxter County, Poinsett County, Franklin County, and Union County for receiving high ranks on Findthehome.com’s “vice” analysis of counties. However, despite these rankings, every Arkansas resident and native knows that there’s definite wholesome good that comes from these towns as well, and the fine people of these towns and counties aren’t to be judged and ranked like the businesses that operate there. Keep on being you, Arkansas!
