The following listings include racial demographics and statistics on minority faith congregations for California counties as of 2010. For 21 counties, you will also find information on the top ten faith communities for each county, measured by the size of their memberships. We add available information about non-Christian traditions.

To view the information, click on the county name.

Every decade, the Glenmary Research Center publishes a profile of the religious affiliations of residents in every county in the United States. This is the major source of information that is currently available for identifying the relative sizes of the nation’s many faith traditions and for tracking long-term trends in religious affiliation. The USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture (CRCC) used information from the Glenmary Research Center to create religious profiles for a representative sample of California counties.

Our intention is to highlight the fact that the religious affiliations of California residents assume very different patterns in various regions of the state.

All statistics are self-reported by denominational “headquarters” and/or associations. Critics of the Glenmary report argue that this procedure may limit the reliability of statistics, because different definitions of membership may be utilized by leaders in various religious traditions.

 

Note: CRCC was able to create this resource from the Glenmary Research Center’s 2000 and 2010 censuses through a grant-funded project. We have not able to update it since. You can find information from a more recent religion census here.
