These are the states with the highest (and lowest) enlistment rates over the last 5 years [View all]

While it can be difficult to peg down just how star-spangled a state is, one indicator is the rate at which citizens enlist in the military, especially during the United States' longest period of sustained conflict. At least, that's the thinking behind WalletHub's new study, 2019's Most Patriotic States in America.

For the fourth year in a row the personal finance site took a close look at metrics in military and civic engagement to determine which states "bleed the most red, white and blue," their website reads. Based on those metrics, the top-five "most patriotic" states were New Hampshire, Wyoming, Vermont, Utah and Idaho.
