See below for a list of countries/territories ranked by the percentage of Church-reported membership in the general population. Church membership figures have come from year-end 2022 membership figures reported by the Church that were accessed here. Population figures by country/territory were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations which can be found here. I do not have any estimated membership figures in these data presented below, as I chose to include only official Church-reported figures in this table. Estimated membership figures for un-reported countries by the Church will be posted later on this blog by world region. Furthermore, there may be some noticeable differences compared to figures posted in 2021 because I have switched to using FAO estimates rather than the CIA World Factbook estimates due to wide variability in the latter estimated population figures from year to year (also the FAO statistics permit searching by prior year/future year which is very helpful to determine growth rates over time). Finally, it is important to note that Church membership figures do not take into account the activity status or self-affiliation of members on Church records. Worldwide, approximately 30% of Church membership regularly attends church services.
