It’s enough to make Lady Liberty blush.
New York has been named the second-least patriotic state in a recent survey — with neighboring New Jersey the only one to come out worse.
The WalletHub survey — released just a week before Independence Day — compared all 50 states based on two key characteristics: military and civic engagement.
To get there, the personal finance site created a weighted average based on 13 metrics, including military enlistment, number of veterans, voting records, jury service and volunteering.
New Hampshire shone through as the most patriotic, followed by Wyoming, Vermont, Utah and Idaho.
The Empire State came in a dismal 49th, the same spot it landed in for military engagement, in part from having the fewest veterans per capita, with just 54 per 1,000 adults — compared to 127 in Alaska.
New Yorkers also came across as duds at volunteering, with the fourth-lowest rate. Florida was the worst.
Still, New York beat out the Garden State, which came last overall — just edging out New York with military engagement but dropping spots for lousy civic engagement.
WalletHub also noted that red states average out to be more patriotic than their blue counterparts.
