Description: This dataset contains the membership data for denominations (or other religious groupings) grouped by city. Included are the cities data listed in the 1906, 1916, 1926, and 1936 censuses. Note that in addition to the number of congregations and total membership, the census bureau in some years reported membership data broken down by age (over or under 13 years old) and in other years by sex (male and female).

Description: This dataset contains a list of the denominations (or other religious groupings) used by the U.S. Census Bureau in the federal Census of Religious Bodies. Included are the denominations listed in the 1906, 1916, 1926, and 1936 censuses. The same denomination will appear in different census years. Not all denominations will appear in each year, because the Census Bureau changed with denominations it counted each decade, but also because denominations split, merged, were formed, or were dissolved from decade to decade.
