Maps of US Religions, take 2

Posted in Maps at 10:07 pm by ducky

I added a few more religious denominations to my elections/demographics site, again from Churches and Church Membership in the United States, 1990.

Note that these denominations have fewer adherents than the denominations I featured in my previous post, so these have full white corresponding to 0%, while full blue is 70% (vs. 100% in the previous post).

Here are adherents to the Unified Methodist Church:

% United Methodist Church Adherents 1990

I hadn’t realized that Methodists were concentrated in the center band of the country like that.

Here are the adherents to the Presbyterian Church (USA):

% Presbyterian Church USA Adherents 1990

I was surprised at how diffuse the Presbyterians are.

Here is the African Methodist Episcopal Zion adherents:

% African Methodist Episcopal Adherents 1990

I was surprised at how concentrated the AMEZ church was — in North Carolina and Alabama.
