Very cool, and it seems more accurate than the ARDA map. How Catholic are you saying Hispanics are? I would have expected places like East Pasco to be darker shades of red.

Also, do you have a color key?

Hispanics in eastern Washington tend to be more LDS than in other places.

The key is standard Atlas shades (>20%/>30%/etc.) with Red being Catholic, Blue being Protestant, Green being Non-religious, and Yellow being Mormon. The grey area in Benton didn't have any people reporting an ancestry.

I'm just using East Pasco as an example, but it is around 85% Latino if I recall correctly, but you have it only >30% Catholic. That doesn't seem like enough. I'm not saying you're wrong - just curious what inputs you used and where you are getting this data (such as the LDS fact).

Are you using a universal formula for the entire country, or by state? County?

I am only nitpicking because I really like this, btw. Smiley
