The Amish have settled in as many as 32 US-states though about 2/3 are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
The Amish population in the U.S. numbers more than 390,000 and is growing rapidly (around 3-4% per year), due to large family size (seven children on average) and a church-member retention rate of approximately 80%.
[13] The 2010 census of Amish population was published in 2012, compiled by Elizabeth Cooksey, professor of sociology, and Cory Anderson, a graduate student in rural sociology, both at The Ohio State University.
[14][15][2][16] The data from 2024 comes from "Elizabethtown College, the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies-2024" as of June 2024[update].
[25] In 2015 new settlements of New Order Amish were founded in Argentina and Bolivia.
