We even ranked first with the largest percentage of adults who voted in the 2016 Presidential Election.

Here are some other key factors that WalletHub provided us with for Maine.

• 23rd – Average Number of Military Enlistees per 1,000 Civilian Adults
• 9th – Peace Corps Volunteers per Capita
• 1st – % of Adults Who Voted in 2016 Presidential Election
• 8th – Volunteer Rate
