The 2024 Northeast Florida Jewish Community Study creates a portrait of the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of the Jewish community in Northeast Florida.  The study is based on an analysis of data collected from 846 eligible households between April and June 2024. We found the community has grown rapidly, with one quarter of all Jewish adults having moved to the area within the previous five years.

Jewish Maine: The 2024 Community Study is the first ever in-depth assessment of the size and characteristics of the Jewish community throughout Maine, and the first study to cover Southern Maine since 2007. The study provides a comprehensive portrait of the state's 19,000 Jews; their families; their Jewish attitudes, affiliations, and behaviors; their health and financial well-being; and other measures of their engagement in Jewish life.

Jewish Miami: A 2024 Community Study provides a snapshot of today’s Jewish population in Miami and considers trends and developments in Jewish life and engagement. This study is based on an analysis of data collected from 2,686 eligible households between February 5 and June 14, 2024. The study found that there are 69,700 Jewish households in the Miami Jewish community. These households include 151,400 individuals, of whom 130,100 are Jewish. The Jewish population comprises 5% of the total Miami-Dade population, and Jewish households make up 8% of all households in Miami-Dade County. Nearly one quarter of Miami Jewish adults have moved to the area in the past decade, and one third of Jewish adults were born outside of the United States. The share of Miami Jews who are Orthodox is 13%, and nearly half of Miami Jewish children (46%) reside in Orthodox households.

The 2024 Greater St. Louis Jewish Community Study creates a portrait of the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of the Jewish community in Greater St. Louis. The study is based on an analysis of data collected from 1,771 eligible households between January and April 2024. We found the community is undergoing both reurbanization and exurbanization, with more than one third of households living in the City of St. Louis or outlying areas, farther away from the longstanding suburban center of institutional life.

The 2022-23 Washtenaw County Area Jewish Community Study provides a snapshot of today’s Jewish population in Washtenaw County and considers trends and developments in Jewish life and engagement.  This study is based on an analysis of a rich set of data collected from 955 eligible households between November 2022 and January 2023.  In interpreting the data, it is important to bear in mind the study represents the characteristics and views of community members at that time. During that period, the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic were gradually being lifted. Data were also collected well before the Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023 and the ensuing rise in antisemitism in the United States. It is likely that attitudes about Israel, concerns over antisemitism, and other markers of Jewish identity shifted from the time of data collection to the time that this report is being written.
