Lynchburg comes in at #8. Where you at, Texas?

Sorry, the actual graphic is too big to post, otherwise I'd have it on here.

It honestly surprises me that we're as far down as #8. This is the churchingest place I've ever been.


edit: I see, it's because they stuck us with Roanoke.

I'd be curious to hear some of the questions that were asked of the respondents beyond the two listed in the graphic.

Knoxville at #1 & Shreveport at #2 atop the rankings is a bit of a head-scratcher. I'm not surprised to see both high but not necessarily at the top. Many of the others in the top ten have large ministries based in those cities that bump up the percentages (especially medium markets like Springfield, MO & Roanoke-Lynchburg).

At the bottom of the list, Cedar Rapids sure looks out of place amongst the others.

Id of expected Norfolk/Portsmouth/Newport News (which I guess explains no Va. Beach on the list) to be higher also

The #1 city is only 52% and only five checked in with at least 50%? Interesting. I thought for sure it would be higher than that.
