Where it comes from
· Religion Census EVANRATE (2010, 2020)
Southern Baptist, Assemblies of God, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and some 200 other bodies. 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.
