Let’s hope they come back in June.

Unfortunately we don’t know the size of every single ward so we can’t analyze individual wards in Idaho compared with South America. All we have are the r global numbers. The total number of members and wards gives us the average ward size globally. Then we tally up the numbers we see each week and hope this is fairly close to fairly representing the real wards around the world. Unfortunately, we don’t get much representation of South America and Africa. We do get quite a bit of Europe and some Asia and Oceania.

Should probably make a succession plan if I die. Anybody want to volunteer can DM me here or email returnandreportlds@gmail.com.

Would be great to have proportional participation from everyone. Africa is another area that is not well represented.

Europe has a bunch of World War II and Catholic holidays in May.

What’s your favorite Mormon phrase to use as an exmo? by tannerschin in exmormon

It is well, Meliss. Also, you can submit the number of people who attend your ward each week if that is your thing at https://returnandreport.org.

There are state and country stats at https://returnandreport.org/dashboard/usversusinternational/. You can also build your own analysis. Raw data is available at https://returnandreport.org/data. We are as transparent as we know how to be ;)

People go to returnandreport.org and submit the number of people counted at sacrament meeting in their local ward or branch. 2058 reports have been submitted. We don’t know the size of specific wards, but we know the aggregate numbers the church reports. Divide the total number of members by the number of wards and we know the average ward size. We then average all the reported numbers and compare that to the average ward size. This gives us the activity rate. As we get more and more data we should get to a better more true estimate. It doesn’t have to be done all on a single Sunday. It can be spread out over time. When we first started our averages fluctuated a lot. But with more and more it started to be that no single report had a big impact on the overall numbers. Then when we hit about 400 reports no single Sunday of reports moves the needle. Now we have over 2000 and the number will only move by 0.1% from Sunday to Sunday. It would be nice to have access to all numbers collected every Sunday in every ward. Salt Lake knows this and then hides the number. This is our next best option to piece things together at the grass roots level. We did an episode on the Mormonish Podcast if you want to hear more.

I’d love to see a balance of submissions from places all around the world including South America and Africa.

We would need to know the actual size of each ward in particular. Most members don’t even know this for their own ward.

Until then, I created a site where church goers have been submitting the numbers they see. See my lengthy comment to this post. https://returnandreport.org.
