(1) Data regarding Muslim and Jewish populations in America

As shown below (latest to newest), the estimated populations of these two groups in America vary significantly, even for the same year, and even by the same research organizations:

Muslims

2017 estimate: 3.45 million: Pew Research

Jews

2017 estimate: 5.3 million: Pew Research

For reference, the estimated total U.S. population in 2010 was 324,310,011 (U.S. Census Bureau)

From this, we will conclude that:

  • The 3,450,000 Muslims in America make up 1.06% of the population.
  • The 5,300,000 Jews in America make up 1.63% of the population.

For rounding purposes, we will say that for every 10 Muslims in America, there are 16 Jews.
