Despite falling populations in other parts of the U.S., the Amish population is growing. A report from Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College found that the Amish population in North America has risen to 373,620, in 2022, an increase of 12,150 since 2021.
The Amish generally call 32 states and four Canadian provinces home, with 62 percent living within Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Additional settlements can be found in South America following the organization of a New Order Amish community from the Midwest to Bolivia and Argentina.
