To celebrate the Fourth of July, WalletHub ranked how patriotic all 50 states are. Here are the top 10.
The site used many metrics, such as the percentages of adults who voted in the 2016 primaries and elections, the rate of both Peace Corps and AmeriCorps volunteers, the number of military enlistees per capita, and the number of veterans per capita.
Overall, the factors came down to Civic and Military Engagement.
New Hampshire took the top spot as the most patriotic state in the nation.
Independence Day celebrations will look a bit different this year, as the coronavirus pandemic puts a damper on most large celebrations like parades.
But there are many different ways to celebrate and support your country, whether it's through the armed services, doing your civic duty as a voter, participating in jury duty, or volunteering with local organizations — that's how WalletHub determined the levels of patriotism in every state.
Keep scrolling to see the top 10 most patriotic states in the US, according to WalletHub.
