The 2001 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) was based on a random digit-dialed telephone survey of 50,281 American adults in the continental U.S.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life published a survey of 35,556 adults living in the United States that was conducted in 2007. [6] The 2007 survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI), found 1.7% of the U.S. adult population self identified themselves as Mormon. [7] The table below lists a few significant findings, from the survey, about Mormons. Note: some less populated states were combined in this survey. These include: Montana-Wyoming, D.C.-Maryland, North & South Dakota, New Hampshire-Vermont, and Connecticut-Rhode Island. The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. membership is predominantly white [8] with a lower percentage of blacks when compared to the U.S. average. [9]
