Percentage of Muslims in U.S. Population by State

There are 3.3 million Muslims in the U.S. and over 2,500 mosques. One way to see the population ratio is by visualizing it using Tableau Public.



Ilinois has the highest Muslim percentage by state population, and Montana has the lowest.
  • # 1 - Illinois (2.80%)
  • # 5 - Texas (1.68%)
  • # 13 - Georgia (.54%)
  • # 31 - Oklahoma (.20%)
  • # 51 - Montana (.03%)

The average national percentage is 1%. Data does not include an estimated increase of over 1 million immigrants over the last 5 years.
