Social Explorer Gets Religion!
Feb 1, 2008

View Religion Maps
Today, Social Explorer, in association with the Association of Religious
Data Archives, releases maps and reports at the
county level that provide counts of adherents and congregations of most
demoninations in the United States for 1980, 1990 and 2000, including
Catholics, many Protestant Denominations, both Evangelical and mainline,
Mormons, Muslims and Jews, etc.
Based on the Religious Congregations and Membership Study (RCMS) this is the
most complete census available on religious congregations and their members.
These data were developed by the Association of Statisticians of
American Religious Bodies (ASARB).
Want to know where the Bahai or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints (Mormons) are concentrated by state or county? Social Explorer can
tell you! There are well over 100 denominations reported for each decade.
The application is available through the Social Explorer website
and through the ARDA site.
