What this measures

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. Source: .

For most measures, a national ranking mostly sorts places by income and by how urban they are. Each county’s own page compares it with the 50 counties most like it instead, which is often the fairer view.
