Islam Population Density by Country Map
Explore Islam population density by country, comparing where Muslim communities form overwhelming majorities, large population shares, significant minorities, or major population centers across the world.
About This Islam Population Density by Country Map
A worldwide overview of Muslim population concentration by country, highlighting Muslim-majority states, large Muslim communities, and regional demographic patterns.
This Islam Population Density by Country Map illustrates how Muslim populations are distributed across individual countries and how strongly Islam is represented within national populations. It provides a broad comparison between Muslim-majority countries and countries where Muslims form substantial or smaller minorities.
High shares of Muslim population are found across much of the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, and parts of South and Southeast Asia. At the same time, countries such as India, China, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States contain important Muslim communities even though Muslims do not form a national majority.
Country-level comparisons should be read as broad demographic patterns rather than precise measures of local density. Muslim populations can be concentrated in particular provinces, cities, or regions, and estimates may vary by source, census methodology, migration, and the year of the underlying data.
