\nNote:\u00a0<\/strong>Settlement and district statistics were updated in June 2019. The number of people in a church district varies by settlement. For example, there are approximately 170 people per district in the Lancaster County settlement and\u00a0approximately 130 per district in the Holmes County settlement. Population estimates, which\u00a0include both adults and children, were calculated using a variety of sources including Raber\u2019s\u00a0New American Almanac<\/em>, reports by correspondents in\u00a0Die Botschaft<\/em>,\u00a0The Budget<\/em>, and\u00a0The Diary<\/em>, settlement directories, regional newsletters, and settlement informants. The table includes all Amish groups that use horse-and-buggy transportation, but excludes car-driving groups such as the Beachy Amish and Amish Mennonites.<\/p>\n
