If you have a child you care about, you’ve probably wondered where the highest concentration of sex offenders in your state are. Well, I’ve done a little digging with the public data collected on HomeFacts.com and found them for you. I’m a little sad to report that almost the entire state (meaning EVERY county) has a higher sex offender population than the national average which is 14.64 per 10,000 people.

It’s important to keep in mind these statistics are public record. This list is based on the ratio of sex offenders per residents. Basically, I’m giving you a list of where you are more likely to run into a sex offender based on how many there are compared to total residents in the county. Were you surprised to see any of these counties on this list? Maybe you were surprised that a county didn’t make the list when you thought it would have? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
