I wonder how this correlates to like... how many people the average partner has had, in each of those cities. I bet it's somewhat correlated

The list goes to #100. In Baltimore (#1), 20% of the population is infected. In whatever town is #100 0.75% are infected. That is a huge delta.

That's true. I tried to find some data on number of sexual partners by city, but I couldn't find anything.

I presume you gave my list an upvote? I am trying to fire up this sub. I would value your contributions.

Yeah I did vote it up. Just keep posting good content and the sub will grow. I think most people browse /all, so if you want the sub to be "a thing" then just keep it in the eye of the public frequently with good posts. I love data-driven posts that are well-sourced
