To determine where Americans have the most red, white and blue pride, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 13 key indicators of patriotism. The data set ranges from average number of military enlistees to share of adults who voted in the 2016 presidential election to AmeriCorps volunteers per capita.

The Tar Heel State ranked just behind our neighboring states of South Carolina (#4) and Virginia (#1);
