List of U.S. states by Amish population

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

States ranked according to Amish population in 2019.
Counties with Amish settlements in 2021.
Old Order Amish population growth in the 20th century.

There were 32 states of the United States with an Amish population in 2024 that consists of at least one Amish settlement of Old or New Order Amish, excluding more modern Amish groups like e.g. the Beachy Amish. New Order Amish are seen as part of the Old Order Amish despite the name by most scholars.

The Amish have settled in as many as 32 US-states though about 2/3 are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The largest Amish settlement is Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and adjacent counties followed by Holmes and adjoining counties in northeast Ohio, about 78 miles south of Cleveland. Third in size is the settlement in Elkhart, LaGrange and surrounding counties in northeastern Indiana which is geographically merging with the Nappanee settlement due to the growth of both settlements, which filled the gap between the two. According to Albrecht Powell, the Pennsylvania Amish has not always been the largest group of U.S. Amish as is commonly thought.

The Amish population in the U.S. numbers more than 390,000 and is growing rapidly (around 3-4% per year), due to large family size (seven children on average) and a church-member retention rate of approximately 80%."[1][2]

Amish settlements outside the US

[edit]

There are Amish settlements in four Canadian provinces, Ontario, founded in the 1820s, Manitoba, founded in 2018,[19] New Brunswick in 2015 and Prince Edward Island, in 2016.

There was an Amish settlement in Honduras from about 1968 to 1978 but the settlement failed.[20]

In 2015 new settlements of New Order Amish were founded in Argentina and Bolivia.
