(map) or U.S. Religion Census Data Lists
The 2020 US Religion Census has been released. For full data and notes, see the US Religion Census
site itself. This Lists Link gives overview stats for any of the Religion Censuses since 1890, with additional links to several maps created based on the data.
Your host has two chapters in the new US Religion Census Book , one
on Religious Diversity and another
on Metropolitan and Micropolitan Religion . Throughout the book,
various chapters have maps that he prepared, in addition to a Maps Section
with 37 maps showing various aspects of American religion in 2020.
Half of America
With over 3 thousand counties to spread the wealth in, half of all high-income families live in just 64 of those counties. This presentation shows the concentration of dozens of American
demographics, from new homes through Jewish adherents to members of the Armed Forces. Includes 38 downloadable maps.
Religious Diversity in the United States
Paper originally presented at the Religon Research Association in 2012. Describes methodology of Simpson's Diversity Index as well as examples from the 2010 U.S. Religion Census.
Neighborhood Diversity in the United States
Examines cultural diversity in counties and large metropolitan areas of the United States. Based on 2018 cultural data from the American Community Survey.
Cultural Diversity by Age Group
Uses 2018 data from the American Community Survey to show graphically how the proportion of cultural population varies by age group.
U.S. States and Territories at Same Scale
Superimposing the outlying areas on and around the lower 48, Hawaii stretches from Houston to San Francisco and Alaska hits Canada, Mexico, and both the Atlantic and Pacific.
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are about the size of lower New England. Guam and the Northern Marianas barely show up off the Washington coast, and American Samoa is that small dot to the southwest of California.
