In order to determine where Americans bleed the most red, white and blue as we celebrate this nation’s 244th birthday, a new study by financial website WalletHub.com compared all 50 U.S. states across 13 key indicators of patriotism.

The data set used ranges from a state’s shares of enlisted military population, adults who voted in the 2016 presidential election, veteran civilian adults, AmeriCorps and Peace Corps volunteers per capita, residents who participate in civic groups or organizations, and more.

Here are some of their key findings…

• Alaska has the most veterans per 1,000 civilian adults, 127, which is 2.4 times more than in New York, the state with the fewest at 54.

• Maine has the highest share of adults who voted in the 2016 presidential election, 72.68 percent, which is 1.5 times higher than in Hawaii, the state with the lowest at 47.27 percent.

• Utah has the highest volunteer rate, 51.00 percent, which is 2.2 times higher than in Florida, the state with the lowest at 22.80 percent.

• Red states are more patriotic, with an average ranking of 23.67, compared with 28.25 for blue states (1 = Best).
