* Jewish population here is defined as the Enlarged Jewish Population which includes:
(A) Core Population - Jews born to Jewish parents or converted to Judaism;
(B) Other Persons of Jewish Parentage;
(C) Respective non-Jewish households members
The Core Jewish Population of the United States in January 2012 was 5,425,000.
Totals may not be exact due to rounding.
° For methodological reasons, the exact numbers are probably inflated slightly as some individuals may be double-counted. The enlarged jewish population is probably closer to between 6 and 6.5 million.
^ Figure is less than 0.1 and rounds to 0.
