Summary note
This study assembles from print and tape sources county-level figures on church membership and congregations in 1950 and 1970 for approximately seventy churches and religious organizations. County-level demographic information was derived from U.S. Census compilations. The components make possible aggregate analyses of religious traditions and practices as well as an examination of changes in the patterns of affiliation. Data exist for 3156 counties on 46 variables. The sources for the data include these publications: 1) Churches and Church Membership in the United States 1971, by Johnson, Picard & Quinn; 2) Supplemental Data Set for Churches and Church Membership in the United States 1971, by Leonard G. Irwin, Home Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention, Atlanta, Georgia; 3) Churches and Church Membership in the United States 1952, by Whitman and Trimble; and 4) Untitled Data Set for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 1971, compiled by Lowell Bennion, Dept. of Geography, Humboldt State University. Data were also obtained from various annual editions of The American Jewish Committee's American Jewish Yearbook.
