The Baha'i World News Service's official statistics page, stating as a current, undated figure that there are more than 5 million Baha'is in the world, present in well over 100,000 localities and organized under 188 national-level councils, without describing the counting method behind the headline total.

Reliability Tier2
The Baha'i World Centre's own official, continuously updated statistics page, a primary institutional source for the community's self-reported worldwide total; not tier 1 because the page states no reference year and no counting method (it gives geographic and organizational detail, localities and national assemblies, rather than describing how the headline total is compiled), unlike the tier-1 official statistical returns this axis records for PC(USA), the ELCA and the UCC.
