A new study conducted by QR Code Generator has revealed the most and least sociable states in the country and found that Wisconsin locals feature in the top ten. The study examined 12 different metrics to create an index ranking of the most sociable states nationwide, including data on the number of bars and clubs per 100,000 people; self-reported data from the American Time User Survey on average minutes per day spent on social events; data on the number of civic organizations and volunteering population; and the number of sporting and music venues per capita. The metrics were each weighted and combined to give a total score and then ranked.
The study revealed that residents in Alaska are the most sociable, with an overall score of 63.7 out of 100. Georgia residents were found to be the least sociable, with a score of just 31.9.
Wisconsin was ranked tenth, with a score of 53.7 out of 100. The state’s residents dedicate an average of 52 minutes per day to socializing, and Wisconsin has an above-average volunteering rate of 9%.
