The population of New York was 19,378,102 in 2010; in 2000 it was 18,976,457. The total population changed 2.1%. The adherent totals of the religious groups listed above (9,923,512) included 51.2% of the total population in 2010.
The population of New York was 18,976,457 in 2000; in 1990 it was 17,990,455. The total population changed 5.5%. The adherent totals of the religious groups listed above (11,461,411) included 60.4% of the total population in 2000.
However, the change in methodology can distort assessments on growth or decline between 2000 and 2010 for each of these groups. County-level 2000 data using the new methodology are not readily available. ASARB staff has adjusted some 2000 county-level adherent statistics to allow for a more accurate picture on growth or decline. The revised maps and charts are now available on-line at www.usreligioncensus.org for those who are interested in these trends.
