Report: Pittsburgh among best cities in United States to be a vampire
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh is among the best cities in the United States to be a vampire, a new report found.
On Monday, Lawn Love released its report on the best and worst cities in the United States for vampires, and Pittsburgh found itself near the top once again. Pittsburgh came in at No. 14, according to Lawn Love, with Philadelphia coming in at No. 4. New York was No. 1, followed by Chicago and Columbus, Ohio. The worst city is Buckeye, Arizona.
In last year's report, Pittsburgh was No. 6, just missing a spot in the Top 5. Pittsburgh was No. 2 in 2021, losing out on the top spot to Naperville, Illinois.
Lawn Care said it compared the 500 biggest cities in the United States on five categories: food and drink, lair safety, deterrents, community, and entertainment. The report looked for blood centers, vampire-friendly dwellings like homes with basements, and warm bodies. The work was done to encourage blood donation during the current national shortage.
Among the key metrics in Law Love's report, Pittsburgh ranked No. 1 for "historical annual average percentage of sunshine (least)."
Another Halloween-themed report found that Pittsburgh is among the best cities in the United States to be a ghost, with the Steel City coming in at No. 5. The top city for ghosts is Springfield, Massachusetts.
