Official LDS Membership

Membership reported by the LDS Church on December 31, 2018 was used to determine the number of members in each state.[1] The LDS Church defines membership as:[2]

1. Those who have been baptized and confirmed.
2. Those under age nine who have been blessed but not baptized.
3. Those who are not accountable because of intellectual disabilities, regardless of age.
4. Unblessed children under age eight when:
   1. Two member parents request it.
   2. One member parent requests it and the nonmember parent gives permission.

The United States Census Bureau July 1, 2019 population estimates was used as the basis for the general population.[3] Each state link gives a brief history and additional membership information for that state.
