Sumter Co. rate: 186.6 cases/100K population

True chlamydia capital of the US----St. Louis , Mo. with 1283 cases/100K population

Gonorrhea:

National rate: 179.1 cases/100K population
Florida rate: 156.0 cases/100K population
Sumter Co. rate: 85.0 cases/100K population

True GC capital of the US----Montgomery Co., Alabama----563.0 cases/100K population

I couldn't find data specific to TV alone, but given the average age of the population vs. the surrounding areas, it is likely the rates in TV are even lower than Sumter Co. as a whole.

End of myth.
This is wonderful information! I can’t tell you how many times people made fun of me for buying in TV ... “the sex capitol of Florida” .... my parents lived here for years, I knew it couldn’t be true. But now I have the ammunition to deal with those rumors.
