In your analysis, do you consider number of church buildings already established in the stake/district?

I would think that an indicator of whether the Church splits a stake would include the number of wards in a building. For example, Chilpancingo has a relatively large stake but only one building is at capacity...

As the Katuba and Lubumbashi stakes in the DR Congo are right next to each other, I suspect we could soon see a third stake created from the two.

Not to sound picky, but I think you mean Ciudad Juarez East Stake and not Colonia Juarez East Stake.

I served recently in the Juiz de Fora Brazil Stake and although it does have many wards, it doesn't seem likely to split soon. A possibility, however, would be to realign the Juiz de Fora and Petrópolis Stakes. There are 3 wards in the state of Rio de Janeiro that belong to the Juiz de Fora Stake that aren't all too far from some of the wards in the Petrópolis Stake. The chapel of the Corrêas Ward in the Petrópolis Stake was built to be a stake center. If two wards were added to the Petrópolis Stake, there could easily be a stake just within Petrópolis (with the Petrópolis, Imperial, Alto da Serra, Coronel Veiga, a new ward, and the reopening of the Quitandinha Branch or maybe the stealing of the Piabetá Branch from the Rio de Janeiro Stake), a new stake with the Corrêas and Cascatinha Wards together with the three wards from the Juiz de Fora Stake on the Rio de Janeiro side of the state border (Três Rios, Paraíba do Sul, e Vila Isabel) and an additional one that would be created, and the Juiz de Fora Stake (Juiz de Fora, Jardim América, Grajaú, Bairu, Manchester, Nova Era, Cataguases, and Leopoldina Wards and possibly the reopening of the Muraé Branch).
