As the Fourth of July approaches, many wonder which states exhibit the most patriotism. According to a recent study by WalletHub, Colorado ranks as the 6th most patriotic state in the nation.

Defining Patriotism

WalletHub’s study defined patriotism through a combination of military engagement and civic engagement. They used a 100-point system, with military engagement accounting for up to 25 points and civic engagement up to 75 points.

Military Engagement Metrics

For military engagement, the study looked at:

  • Military enlistees per 1,000 adults (2015-2020)
  • Veterans per 1,000 adults
  • Active-duty military members per 100,000 adults
  • Share of adult population in military reserves

Civic Engagement Metrics

Civic engagement included metrics such as:

  • Share of adult population who voted in the 2020 elections
  • Volunteer rate
  • Number of AmeriCorps and Peace Corps volunteers
  • Jury participation
  • U.S. history/civics education requirement

Colorado’s Performance

Colorado’s high rank is largely due to its strong performance in civic engagement. The state ranks 1st in the nation for having a U.S. history/civics education requirement. Additionally, Colorado has a significant number of volunteers, ranking 4th for Peace Corps and 5th for AmeriCorps volunteers per capita.

In military engagement, Colorado ranks 10th for active-duty military population, 15th for the number of military enlistees, and 25th for the number of veterans.

Top 6 Most Patriotic States

According to WalletHub, the top six most patriotic states are:

  1. Virginia
  2. Alaska
  3. Montana
  4. Maine
  5. Oregon
  6. Colorado

This recognition highlights Colorado’s strong commitment to both civic duties and military service, showcasing the state’s overall patriotic spirit.
