Editing Heathenry in the United States (section)

==Demographics==
Although deeming it impossible to calculate the exact size of the Heathen community in the US, sociologist Jeffrey Kaplan estimated that, in the mid-1990s, there were around 500 active practitioners in the country, with a further thousand individuals on the periphery of the movement.{{sfn|Kaplan|1996|p=198}} He noted that the overwhelming majority of individuals in the movement were white, male, and young. Most had at least an undergraduate degree, and worked in a mix of [[White-collar worker|white collar]] and [[Blue-collar worker|blue collar jobs]].{{sfn|Kaplan|1996|p=199}} From her experience within the community, Snook concurred that the majority of American Heathens were male, adding also that most were also white and middle-aged,{{sfn|Snook|2015|p=24}} but believed that there had been a growth in the proportion of Heathen women in the US since the mid-1990s.{{sfn|Snook|2015|p=108}}

In 2003, the Pagan Census Project led by [[Helen A. Berger]], Evan A. Leach, and Leigh S. Shaffer gained 60 responses from Heathens in the US, noting that 65% were male and 35% female, which they saw as the "opposite" of the rest of the country's Pagan community.{{sfn|Berger|Leagh|Shaffer|2003|p=16}} The majority had a college education, but were generally less well educated than the wider Pagan community, with a lower median income than the wider Pagan community too.{{sfn|Berger|Leagh|Shaffer|2003|p=16}}
