Projects

I post weekly blog posts, but also work on a few larger projects. My projects mainly fall into two buckets: Reports and Dashboards.

I have a list of links below for all current projects. Note that all projects and dashboards are free to use or download! If you’d like, hire me to write similar data-driven reports, run surveys, or build dashboards for your org.

Reports

• The Temple Premium: Fact or Folklore? (Released January 30, 2026) is a rigorous econometric stress-test of real estate folklore.

It challenges the idea of a single Mormon identity and instead reveals a rich spectrum shaping the faith’s future. 👉 [Read the full report]

Dashboards

Note that dashboards have better viewing on desktop and not mobile devices.

• US County Level Growth Dashboard - Get the most granualar view available for membership and congregation change for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The changes are from 2010 to 2020 with data from the US Religion Census. I will do another iteration in 2030 assuming more numbers are released at that time.
