(Lincoln, NE) Which city has the most evangelicals in the United States? Surprisingly, the city of Los Angeles does. So says a recent report by the Barna Research Group. According to the report “there are more evangelical adults in the Los Angeles market than there are in the New York, Chicago and Boston metropolitan areas – combined!” 
 
However, when it comes to the city with the highest percentage of evangelicals in it—Little Rock, Arkansas is the winner. In Little Rock, 22% of the population can be considered “evangelical.”  
 
Which cities have the lowest proportion of evangelicals? “Of the 86 largest metropolitan areas in the nation, those with the lowest proportion of evangelicals were Salt Lake City, Utah; Hartford, Connecticut; and Providence, Rhode Island.” Connecticut has the fewest adults who are evangelical. There are 26,000 evangelicals in this state of more than two and a half million adults (see www.Barna.org).
