There were 32 states of the United States with Amish population in 2022 that consists of at least one Amish settlement of Old or New Order Amish, excluding more modern Amish groups like e.g. the Beachy Amish. New Order Amish are seen as part of the Old Order Amish despite the name by most scholars. The Amish population in the U.S. numbers more than 360,000 and is growing rapidly, due to large family size (seven children on average) and a church-member retention rate of approximately 80%."
