ARDA provides statistical datasets on churches and church membership, religious professionals, and religious groups. These include graphs, maps, etc., with U.S. data at the county, metro area, state, and national levels. Summary profiles are provided for virtually every nation. Also offers numerous survey and poll results, such as the 2006 General Social Survey and the National Congregational Study. Quicklists (statistical data) and Quickstats (survey results) link to summary data on topics of broad interest. Keyword searching of all data files, as well as numerous browsing options, are provided. The site also offers a free online newsletter that contains information about new features and data sets. The first source to check for statistical and survey data." [Guide to Reference]
