The Amish Population Profile, 2024, published by the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College, is the annual scholarly count of Amish settlements, church districts and estimated population across North America. Its authority rests on the Young Center's standing as the leading academic research center specifically tracking Amish and Anabaptist demographics, using consistent methodology year over year, and on the fact that this count fills a real gap since the Amish themselves do not take an internal census. It is a demographic estimate rather than a study of Amish religious belief or practice, which other sources in this atlas cover.
