The Wikipedia entry listing Zoroastrian population by country, giving the worldwide Zoroastrian total from Roshan Rivetna's FEZANA demographic studies: 124,953 in the 2004 study, declining to a range of 111,691 to 121,962 (depending on which Iranian population estimate is used) in the 2012 revision, both cited to Rivetna's reports in the FEZANA Journal.

Reliability Tier3
A general encyclopedia entry, used here only for its worldwide demographic totals from Roshan Rivetna's FEZANA-published studies (Winter 2004 issue; Revision 3 dated October 28, 2012, published FEZANA Journal Fall 2013). FEZANA's own site (fezana.org) returned an access-denied response when checked directly, so this aggregator, which names the same primary demographic study rather than presenting its own figures, is used instead, at the same tier already assigned to the Wikipedia entries used elsewhere in the atlas for the same reason (the Zoroastrianism in India and Sikhism in India entries).
