2009 Membership By Country

To be used as a reference, below is a list of LDS membership in 2009 for countries and territories with a reported church presence. Countries with an asterisk have no official LDS membership totals reported and figures are estimates calculated by myself. It is important to note that membership statistics are misleading as they do not take into account member activity rates. For example, in Chile only 345,874 members were assigned to an LDS congregation in the late 2000s (60% of total membership) as the location of the remaining 210,000 members was unknown. Member activity rates for most countries range between 20-40%.
