These data originally appeared in Churches and Church Membership in the United States, 1990, published by the Glenmary Research Center.
[More information on the data collection]
†The adherence rate provides the number of adherents of a particular group per 1,000 population. For example, in 2000 the Episcopal Church had an adherence rate of approximately 8 (8.1) in Autauga County, Alabama. This means that 8 out of every 1,000 people in Autauga County are Episcopalian.
