With the Fourth of July almost here, you may be wondering which states exhibit the most patriotism and where does Colorado rank.
According to a study by WalletHub, the personal finance website defined patriotism as: the combination of military engagement and civic engagement.
For their methodology, WalletHub used a 100-point system in which military engagement could have a maximum of 25 points, and civic engagement could have a maximum of 75 points.
Metrics used within the dimension of military engagement included military enlistees per 1,000 adults (between 2015 and 2020), veterans per 1,000 adults, active-duty military members per 100,000 adults and share of adult population in military reserves.
The dimension of civic engagement had even more metrics including: share of adult population who voted in 2020 elections, volunteer rate, AmeriCorps and Peace Corps volunteers, jury participation and U.S. history/civics education requirement.
