Despite what you may think, Florida isn't ranked high on patriotism. However, there are three super patriotic cities that make up for that and lay it on thick with red, white, and blue.

This article analyzes three cities in Florida that ranked higher on patriotism than most in the country. Do you live in one of these super patriotic hotspots?

The Ranking System

It's only fair to let you know how the ranking system works upfront. Although Florida's not ranked high on patriotism, three cities make the cut above the rest. The cities are primarily ranked by 2 main factors. Those factors are:

1. The percentage of veterans in the population.
2. The percentage of people 18+ who voted.

So, without further adieu, let's take a look at three places in Florida where patriotism still reigns supreme.
