Muslims in America
There were 3.45 million Muslims in the United States as of 2017, accounting for roughly 1.1 percent of the total U.S. population, according to an estimate by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan organization that conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research. The center also estimated 2 percent of adults in Arkansas are Muslim.
The U.S. Census Bureau does not ask questions about religion, meaning there is no official government count of the U.S. Muslim population.
