Last week, we showed you the map of a new indicator on PolicyMap, and gave hints to help you guess what it was. Here’s the map and hints, to refresh your memory:
What indicator does this map show? Rate of adherence to the Catholic Church!
Religion data comes to us from the Glenmary Research Center and Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies. Some of the interesting aspects of this map, which I pointed out last week, is the large area of low concentration in the “Bible Belt” south, where Evangelical Protestantism is more prevalent. Another prominent area of low concentration is Utah and southern Idaho, where Mormonism is predominant.
Do you have a suggestion for guessing another indicator? Send us your ideas and we’ll be sure to start a new game, and let everyone know you created it. Send your ideas to [email protected] .
