With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Americans are aware that the holiday will seem more low-key this year. Despite state reopenings, large celebrations are mostly still canceled to stop the spread of COVID-19, and as WalletHub notes, it may feel especially hard to muster up flag-waving spirit with renewed calls to attention on police brutality and racial inequities. WalletHub looked at more than a dozen metrics in two categories—military engagement (e.g., share of veterans and active-duty personnel) and civic engagement, which includes active voters and volunteers, among others—to see where pride in county is still going strong. Read on for the top 10 states:
- New Hampshire
- Wyoming
- Idaho
- Alaska (No. 1 in "Military Engagement" category)
- Maryland
- Utah (No. 1 in "Civic Engagement" category)
- North Dakota
- Wisconsin
- Minnesota
- South Carolina
