Remember all that stuff about Alabama being among the most conservative states in the country? Well...
An analysis of leaked Ashley Madison data by scientist Jake Popham shows Alabama is the least faithful state in the country, at least when it comes to how much money people spent on the extramarital dating site. Alabama comes in first on the list, followed by Colorado and Washington, D.C. Among the states where people are least likely to cheat are West Virginia, Mississippi and Idaho.
The analysis showed Alabamians spent about $5.50 per capita on the site. Colorado, which came in second, spent about $4.50. The most-faithful state in the country, West Virginia, barely managed $1 per person.
Hackers are believed to have stolen personal information from as many as 36 million different Ashley Madison users and that number is expected to grow in coming days. More than 15,000 of the addresses belonged to .mil or .gov accounts, including some from Alabama.
Experts are cautioning, however, that because there is no verification that the emails provided are accurate, the exact users may never be known. And, as for state data, one theory on why Alabama may be taking the blame is because it falls first on the alphabetical list for those who wanted to set up a fake – and untraceable – account.

And some analysis of the data shows the opposite of Popham's work. Fusion looked at the number of Ashley Madison customers that actually paid for the services, as opposed to total amount paid as compared to number of residents. It found Alabama near the bottom of the website's users. You can see that analysis here.
