Top 10 U.S. Cities with the Highest STD Rates

The COVID-19 pandemic has understandably dominated the news cycle for almost three years now. As we gradually transition out of this public health emergency and continue down paths to better management and recovery, it’s important not to lose sight of the viruses that predated the pandemic and currently infect over 110 million Americans, with over 20 million new infections each year.

For our 6th annual study of STD rates, Innerbody Research analyzed the latest statistics on a city-by-city basis and developed our list of the Top 100 cities with the highest STD rates. In this year’s report, the city with the highest STD rate was Memphis, TN, overtaking Jackson, MS, which moved to 2nd.

In addition to ranking the 100 cities with the highest STD rates, below we’ll provide some takeaways from our report; spotlight cities whose STD rates have significantly improved or declined; highlight racial disparities that emerge from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data; examine correlations between infection rates and local health spending levels; and address what this data means in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
