*Page is currently under construction.

Counting Inconsistencies is our first groundbreaking study on Jewish demographics with a focus on Jews of Color. Using a meta-analysis of national and community population studies, the findings affirm that at least 12-15% of American Jews are Jews of Color. This study also demonstrates that prior research systematically undercounted Jews of Color.

The findings of this mixed-methods study are derived from two unprecedented data sources: the first national survey of Jews of Color and the largest dataset of interviews with self-identified Jews of Color to date.
