The one that wigged me out the most was Decatur Co, IA (the fifth little square from the west in that state). Turns out, that’s the site of Graceland University, the Community of Christ’s school. Lamoni’s a major centre for them.

As for the isolated splotches, who besides Mormons would settle Boundary Co, ID or middle of nowhere NV? Have you been to Coeur d’Alene?

Yeah, I’ve heard these same numbers. I actually heard that the LDS church has more of a 50% rate, but I don’t know if that’s for the USA or worldwide (which I presume would be lower, given the retention problems I saw in Honduras).

I’d like to see this same graph, but have it also reflect activity rates within that religion. So, the updated graph would use color intensity to represent activity rates. The brighter the color is, the higher that religion’s average activity rate is. Based on this article, Catholics have a 28% rate, and Protestants have a 20% rate. I’d imagine we’d see a lot less blue if this reflected actual church-going rates.

In 2000, the church claimed just over 5 million members. In 2001, only 2.7 million members claimed to be lds. Only half of the 5 “million strong” in the US claim to even be mormons. I believe nationally, activity rate is about 30%, so only about 60% of mormons who claim to be mormon even attend.
