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. Analyzing 15 years of Zillow data across 42 temple sites using a Staggered Difference-in-Differences framework, I attempt to isolate the true impact of temple announcements on property values. What I find is that while temple neighborhoods do outperform the market, this premium is driven by "Selection Bias"—the Church building in already-winning areas—rather than the structure itself. 👉 [Read the full report]
The Mormon Typology Report (Released September 5th, 2025) is a data-driven map of modern Mormon diversity. Using three waves of Pew’s Religious Landscape Survey (2007, 2014, 2024) and advanced statistical methods, I identified distinct “types” of Latter-day Saints—ranging from deeply devout to cultural and adaptive. The typology shows how Mormonism is evolving across generations, politics, and culture. 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.
Church Growth Trends Dashboard (Released April 24th, 2026) Track membership, congregations, and temples for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across 160 countries from 2018 to 2025. Updated annually following the April General Conference data release. Explore an interactive world map, drill into any country for year-over-year charts and a plain-English growth summary, or compare world regions side by side. Data sourced from the Church's official newsroom. 👉 [View the dashboard now]
US County Level Growth Dashboard (Released June 20th, 2025) Get the most granular 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. 👉 [View the dashboard now]
