Mosques and Muslims in U.S.


There are 3.3 million Muslims in the U.S. and over 2,500 mosques. On average, that's 1 mosque for every 1,320 Muslims. I'm not sure how useful this information is, but one way to find out is by visualizing it using Tableau Public.

We can see per state a range of 100 to 3,000 Muslims per mosque.
  • # 1 - Montana has the most number of mosques per Muslims - 3 mosques, one mosque per 115 Muslims.
  • # 21 - In DC, there are 13 mosques - one mosque per 340 Muslims.
  • # 49 - In Texas, there are 227 mosques - one mosque per 1,955 Muslims.
  • # 51 - In Illinois, there are 117 mosques - one mosque per 3,083 Muslims.
