New Jersey ranks 9th in social engagement nationwide

A recent study by naplab.com has examined the social habits of residents in each U.S. state. They created a "social battery" score based on responses from over 2,000 people to 13 questions about social activities. According to the findings, New Jersey ranks 9th in the nation with a social battery charged to 61.1%. This means that New Jersey residents are quite social compared to many others. The national average is 51.4%, while Nevada ranks the lowest at 29.8%. Interestingly, Alabama had all of its respondents acknowledge canceling plans to spend time alone, yet it did not rank as the least social state. The state that holds that title is Nevada. In comparison, New Jersey is more social than New York, which is 10th, and Pennsylvania at 24th. Minnesota tops the list as the most social state. This finding suggests that local interests may play a role; for example, Minnesota residents may enjoy socializing more due to their limited entertainment options.
