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.

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.

Why So Many Mosques?
Months ago, I started playing with U.S. population, Mosque and Muslim data. How many Muslims in each U.S. state? What's the monthly increase? How many Mosques in each state? How many Muslims per Mosque in each state?
It’s not a great surprise that the numbers of Muslims and mosques in the U.S. have been increasing steadily over the last 10 years and radically so over the last 20 years.
I do get surprised, however, when I look at the ratio of Mosques by state population. Why are the most mosques by population in states surrounding our nation's capital? Why is D.C. the highest by far? Just wondering. The hex tile map below highlights D.C. and the top six states.
