Texas Counties: Number of Churches and Religious Congregations, 2020

This page shows the number of religious bodies - churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, or other congregations - as reported by the 2020 U.S. Religion Census sponsored by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies.

"Church-to-population ratio" compares the number of congregations to the county's total population; i.e. a ratio of 1:500 means that county has a church (or other religious congregation) for every 500 people.
