==The Wallethub Survey==
A 2019 WalletHub survey examined patriotism in detail on a state-by-state level.<ref>Adam McCann [https://wallethub.com/edu/most-patriotic-states/13680/ 2019’s Most Patriotic States in America] Retrieved July 24, 2019.</ref>
There were 13 criteria in the survey, listed below. The first four are considered "Military Engagement", and the other 9 are considered "Civic Engagement".
*Average Military Enlistees per 1,000 Civilian Adults Between 2012 & 2017 (No Prior Service)
*Veterans per 1,000 Civilian Adults
*Active-Duty Military Personnel per 100,000 Civilian Adults
*Share of Civilian Adult Population in Military Reserves
*Share of Adults Who Voted in 2016 Presidential Election
*Share of Adults Who Voted in 2016 Primary Elections
*Volunteer Rate
*Volunteer Hours per Resident
*AmeriCorps Volunteers per Capita
*Peace Corps Volunteers per Capita
*Trial- & Grand-Jury Participation per Civilian Adult Population
*Share of Residents Who Participate in Groups or Organizations (Civic Life)
*Civics Education Requirement
The study also correlated the results with the states' political leanings ("red" vs. "blue", as determined by the results of the 2016 Presidential election. It found the "red" states are generally more patriotic than "blue" states.
According to the metrics listed above, the top 6 most patriotic states, starting with the most patriotic, were New Hampshire, Wyoming, Vermont, Utah, Idaho, and Wisconsin. Of these, five have Republican Governors and one has a Democratic Governor. Four have Republican-controlled legislatures and two have Democrat-controlled legislatures.
The 6 least patriotic states, starting with the least patriotic, were
New Jersey, New York, California, West Virginia, Texas, and Connecticut. Of these, two have Republican Governors and four have Democratic Governors. Two have Republican-controlled legislatures and four have Democrat-controlled legislatures.
