Is this list printable, just the state & pop.??
So these numbers come from the Young Center website, where they’re posted in alphabetical order (https://groups.etown.edu/amishstudies/population-2025/).
What I did here is put them in numerical order. I did the same thing on this page in a simple clean list, which might be more what you’re looking for – look at the bottom of this page: https://amishamerica.com/amish-state-guide/

Get at it Ohio….we got beat by Pennsylvania. They have 9,085 more Amish. I wonder if they did estimates for the wealthiest settlements what that would look like?
