Everyone gets annoyed by spam callers, but the team at Ooma has collected some proof that residents of some cities have more reason for anger than others. They created a map of the U.S. cities that log the most complains about spam phone calls. They adjusted the complaints per 1,000 people to determine which are the top 50 cities for number of spam call complaints.

These are the ten cities with the highest number of spam call complaints per capita:

  1. Alexandria, Virginia: 22.84
  2. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: 18.75
  3. Orlando, Florida: 18.52
  4. Miami, Florida: 17.58
  5. Atlanta, Georgia: 16.39
  6. Las Vegas, Nevada: 16.12
  7. Knoxville, Tennessee: 15.18
  8. Plano, Texas: 14.91
  9. Washington, District of Columbia: 14.46
  10. Columbia, South Carolina: 14.44

Don’t see your city on the list? Look over the map and you might find yours elsewhere in the top 50 spots. Remember that you don’t have to suffer from excessive spam calls. The team also included information on reporting and blocking them.
