Accordingly, 9.1% or 1,651,000 of New York State citizens say they are Jewish. This is the largest concentration of Jews in any of the states. Jews constitute 5.7% of the population of New Jersey, 4.9% of the people of the District of Columbia, 4.2% of Floridians, 4.4% of Massachusetts citizens, 4.1% of the people of Maryland, 3.1% in Connecticut and 2.9% in California. In all other states Jews are very few. In some states Jews are more or less 2% of the population but in most states Jews are 1% or less of the American population. Our share of the total American population is no more than 2.2% and perhaps less, depending on how we define who is a Jew.
