While discussing public records and identity theft with a friend, I discovered that West Virginia has one of the lowest identity theft rates in the country.  In 2006, the top five states were:

Rank	State	Victims/100,000 Population	Total Victims
1	Arizona	1427.8	9,113
2	Nevada	120.0	2,994
3	California	113.5	41,396
4	Texas	110.6	26,006
5	Florida	98.3	17,780

The bottom five were:

46	West Virginia	30.3	715
47	Iowa	34.9	1,041
48	South Dakota	30.2	236
49	North Dakota	29.7	189
50	Vermont	28.5	178
