Infidelity is spiking in certain cities across the country according to new data.

A study by Ashley Madison, a dating site for cheaters, determined which U.S. cities have the most unfaithful people.

The dating site saw an increase in the number of sign-ups between March 1 and April 25. The average was around 17,000 new accounts created daily.

The research also found that women are more likely than men to have an affair.

“Men have been traditionally portrayed as the ones capable of balancing both a spouse and a lover,” said Dr. Tammy Nelson, author of When You’re the One Who Cheats. “But the truth is, women are better at multitasking — and according to this study, they may be better at cheating.”

The state-by-state breakdown was published in the Journal of Sex Research and found the top 20 cities. Two Colorado cities made the list:

  • No. 15: Denver
  • No. 19: Colorado Springs

According to Ashley Madison, these are the top 20 U.S. cities for cheating:

  1. Miami, Florida
  2. Orlando, Florida
  3. Las Vegas, Nevada
  4. Atlanta, Georgia
  5. Cincinnati, Ohio
  6. Minneapolis, Minnesota
  7. Boise, Idaho
  8. St. Louis, Missouri
  9. St. Paul, Minnesota
  10. Tampa, Florida
  11. Richmond, Virginia
  12. Spokane, Washington
  13. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
  14. Buffalo, New York
  15. Anchorage, Arkansas
  16. Denver, Colorado
  17. Cleveland, Ohio
  18. Tucson, Arizona
