Is there any empirical data to show that the south is more inbred?

I have lived here all my life and are two cities away from tiger ridge, which is rumored to be the most inbred place in the deep south. I have NEVER met anyone into incest or even heard a story... I think it's just a lame stereotype with little to no basis in reality.

I think that stereotype came from stories of mountain people years and years ago. And folks are known to marry distant cousins. Had that happen in my family....

@AgapeLove My brother in law married a second cousin.. kids were fine, church didnt disapprove....Still I do not think marrying that close is a good idea.

@AgapeLove true. Often royalty in Europe inbred...better to mix up the genes. ☹️
