I had to fix and re-upload this video after I noticed a small error shortly after posting it. My apologies if you left a comment on the original video. See the video description above for more on how the Young Center arrives at these population figures. Here are the numbers broken down by region: US: 355,660 Amish Canada: 5,815 Amish South America: 210 Amish

It would seem Indiana is set to become the first state that is at least 1% amish, probably within the decade, they currently make up 0.90% of Indiana.

Interesting video. As usual, I hit the thumbs up before it even starts playing.

Excellent video..I often wondered what the Amish population was..I am surprised that the number wasn't much higher..it seems like there's thousands living in my area but I'm sure that's just because of my growing up and living within a large Amish community..now I'm wondering just how many Amish are in my area..I'll have to look into it..🤔 thank you for sharing your videos..

I am absolutely fascinated with the Amish culture and lifestyle and I’m so glad to have come across your KZread channel. Have you ever considered making the trip up to Ontario to visit the Amish communities here? Not much information on them available on the internet. I think Mennonites have a larger footprint in Ontario.

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you

This has come up several times on other videos:) It is actually a Mennonite presence but no Amish there. I'll repost a previous comment: There are Mennonites in Belize, but no horse-and-buggy Amish. Here is a doc on the Old Colony Mennonites there; there are also some Old Order Mennonites in the country: amishamerica.com/belize-mennonite-colony-documentary/ Also the last photo on this post shows a buggy warning sign in Belize, with an interesting design: amishamerica.com/buggy-signs-across-america/

Well hello, and good evening. Wie gehts? So you've passed my suggestions - loved the videos I've seen thus far and of course subscribed. And no wonder, since along with my large eclectic library I have a vast yearning to know more about the histories of theologies. Or, 'What wisps of belief brandished it's way into what is considered canon.' I and my son had lived for 4 years and miss South Wisconsin- well the state as a whole. I devoured 1 and 4 libraries in Waukesha and Milwaukee, WI. One of the prospective side jobs I had read about while reading everything thing from their beginnings, through the diary/memoirs of the persecutions in Europe etc. was providing rides for them to distant doctor's appts. and other farther locations. I didn't get as far as the direction to remain there as I had hoped. Ewww. Florida again. One question, and I know I could look it up but so enjoy your knowledge, is when and/or how many Amish took to it being ok to have their photos taken? Also, I understood of what I found that they don't incorporate images on dolls or have any type of token imagery as it would be considered vanity or a graven image or 'idol'. I noticed in your videos on 'What they do at Christmas' they made snowmen and gingerbread men with faces and even set nativities out. Could you please, if you will, tell me about when those changes began and which groups do or don't follow those rules. Thank you for your efforts in maintaining your channel, und Ich? ist sehr gut, Danke

In Oklahoma to they are some Amish people here too.

Thank you

Just wondering, in your travels have you met with any of the Amish in Maine and Vermont. I have seen them in Northern Maine years ago but wasn't sure if they had a substantial number there or not. Lots of farming up that way, potatoes, broccoli and corn along with I'm sure many other hardy crops. I was a little shocked when we stopped in at a little creamery store in Southern Utah and found Amish products being sold there, but we were told they did not have Amish in their state so the items were brought in from elsewhere. They are truly an interesting people and culture. Thank you so much for all your wonderful information/

check out Oregon again there is an Amish furniture store now I think

These guys will double in 20 years. In 40 years they will become size of a small nation.

Interesting, I like

Your newest follower 😁 (from MA, but live in E. TN). Like your stuff, ❤ the Amish culture! What is their growth rate? How do they retain their curious teens from leaving? Is there an Amish Mafia? So many questions!

@AmishAmerica

2 жыл бұрын

No Amish Mafia, that was just a TV show from someone's creative mind:) Most teens choose to stay of their own accord - growing up in the culture there are a lot of things that make it attractive for life (besides of course religious reasons). They double in population roughly every 20-22 years, some groups grow faster than others however (plainer Amish tend to have a bit larger families and higher growth rates on the whole)

I'm not including Mennonites, Amish keep me busy enough 😄 The channel only covers horse-and-buggy Amish (unless it's stated otherwise). But there were once Amish in Oregon, though it's been years

I was going to guess 144,000. ;)

Why are there no Amish in Oregon. I moved here from MD, and had lived in PA a while also but was very surprised that none live here. It's quite good soil in NE Oregon.

WHY DID YOU SKIP KY?

They can't be Ana-baptist they practice Arianism, that's why the Catholic church persecuted them pretty much the same reason they went after French Huguenots, Baptists where burned for Baptizing adults (or age of recognition). I thought my people where persecuted for who we became where as the Visogoth Christians and North African Basque Christians where persecuted for the culture they where born into.
