Pew Research Center's December 18, 2012 profile of global Hindus within its Global Religious Landscape study, stating there were about 1 billion Hindus worldwide as of 2010, 15 percent of the global population, while noting a lack of census or survey data on Hindu subgroups in most countries.

Reliability Tier1
The same 2012 Global Religious Landscape modeling exercise cited for Buddhists above, applied to Hindus; the report itself notes a lack of census or survey data on Hindu subgroups in most countries, so it does not attempt to break the total down by tradition, a caveat that does not affect the overall count used here.
