Wisconsin State Planning Grant

Amish Project

In mid-2002, the Applied Population Laboratory was contacted by the Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association about compiling information from Census 2000 that would help provide some estimates of the Amish population in Wisconsin. An initial challenge in approaching this project was that there is no direct data on religious affiliation collected by the U.S. Census Bureau or other federal or state statistical agencies. Any information gleaned from Census 2000 would be indirect and would have to focus on responses or characteristics that might be indicators of the presence of Amish in Wisconsin counties and municipalities.
