Black Protestant adherents
Members of the historically Black Protestant churches, as a share of the population. Their central records are thinner than most, so this is the least complete of the six groups. Which of these churches reported also differs between the 2010 and 2020 studies, so part of any change between them is who reported, not real membership.

Where it comes from
· Religion Census BPRTRATE (2010, 2020)
The historically Black denominations. Their central records are thinner than most, so this is the least complete of the six. Which of them reported differs between the 2010 and 2020 studies. The six groups add up to the published total. Adherents are counted where the congregation is, not where the member lives, and a denomination that did not report is absent rather than zero.
Combining areas: an average weighted by population, decennial census.
What it goes with
The strongest links that have a page of their own. Unadjusted is the link before adjusting for anything, from −1 (opposite) to +1 (in step). Adjusted compares places with the same population density, income and education levels, so those differences can’t explain the link. This list leaves out the 8 pairs built from the same numbers or the same model as this measure, since they are bound to match.

Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of counties. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across counties: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. Counties with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.

Highest and lowest
Of 3,144 counties reporting it. These are the two ends of a national ranking. For most measures, that ranking mostly sorts places by income and how urban they are. That is why the place pages compare each place with similar places instead.

- Nevada County, AR — 34.6
- Adams County, MS — 34
- Northampton County, NC — 29.6
