The Wisconsin city tops the country's 10 Naughtiest Cities list, according to a RealtyTrac report. But, Texas can expect lots of goodies in its Christmas stocking, because the state boasts 6 of the top 10 Nicest Cities, according to the real estate data company. The report looked at number of sex offenders, unemployment, foreclosures, crime and elementary school scores to determine the naughty and nice cities in the U.S. with populations more than 100,000 and for which there was sufficient data available. To make it on the naughty list a city needed to be worse off than the all-county average for each of the five factors, while to make it on the nice list a city needed to be better off. Naughty List The report found 20 "naughty" cities where unemployment, sex offenders, and foreclosure inventory were above the national averages along with school ratings below the national average and a crime rating of C or below. Of the top 10 "naughtiest," three are in California.
