Most Patriotic States in America (2026)
Virginia tops the 2026 patriotism rankings, with 52.3% of its adults volunteering, according to WalletHub.
- Virginia ranked as the nation's most patriotic state for 2026, according to a new report from financial data company WalletHub released after analyzing 50 states.
- WalletHub evaluated all 50 states across 13 indicators of patriotism, including military enlistment rates, veteran populations, voter participation, and volunteer service to determine the rankings.
- Virginia boasts nearly 1,761 active-duty military personnel per 100,000 civilians, the third-highest rate nationally, and nearly 103 veterans per 1,000 civilians, ranking second in the nation.
- Montana ranked second overall in patriotic engagement, while Vermont claimed third place with the second-highest volunteer rate and strong civic participation metrics.
- Chip Lupo, a WalletHub analyst, noted that "patriotism also isn't concentrated in any one particular area—the top states are located in vastly different geographic regions." The findings redefine patriotism beyond symbolic gestures.
