Diocesan Statistics for the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island

Before R.I. Kendall focused on New Jersey. When will he get to the DCNY? Of course, he may never get to the DCNY since the population trends are easier to track for an entire state than a geographical area within a state. However, we know the DCNY story; it isn't much different than this story about R.I. ed.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's figures, Rhode Island has grown in population from 1,048,319 in 2000 to 1,053,209 in 2009. This represents a population growth of approximately 0.47%.

According to Episcopal Church statistics, the Diocese of Rhode Island went from Average Sunday Attendance (or ASA) of 8,174 in 1998 to 6,078 in 2008. This represents an ASA decline of about 26% over this ten year period.
