Austin is tops on lots of lists, but this may be one where we wish we weren’t near the top. Insurance.com looked at cities with the most drunk driving convictions, and it turns out Austin ranked 9th.
The study found in most of these cities there are more drinkers and partiers, less public transportation and better enforcement of DWI laws.
To be fair it’s important that you know how the study was conducted. It looked at cities based on population and then looked at people who had requested insurance information from insurance.com in the fall of 2010 and reported having at least one DWI.
Here’s what it found:
1. San Diego
2. San Jose, Calif.
3. Charlotte, N.C.
4. Phoenix
5. Columbus, Ohio
6. Indianapolis
7. Los Angeles
8. San Francisco
9. Austin, Texas
10. Jacksonville, Fla.
11. San Antonio
12. Dallas
13. Houston
14. Fort Worth, Texas
15. Memphis, Tenn.
16. Philadelphia
17. New York
18. Baltimore
19. Chicago
20. Detroit
