Las Vegas Ranks Low in Churches Per Capita

According to data from the 2020 Religion Census, Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, has a total of 42 congregations for every 100,000 residents. This figure places Las Vegas in a distant 3,135th position among counties across the nation.

The relatively low rank is influenced by the fact that other counties often report higher percentages due to their smaller populations, resulting in a skewed comparison. When examining metropolitan areas, the Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise Metro Area is positioned at 927th.

In contrast, Camden, Arkansas, with a small population of 27,389, leads the country with an extraordinary 660 congregations per 100,000 people, followed by the Provo-Orem Metro Area in Utah, which is renowned for its significant presence of The Church of Latter-day Saints.
