Best Answer

The National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS), sponsored and conducted by the United

Jewish Communities and released in October, 2002, showed a U.S. Jewish population at

the end of 2001 of 5.2 million, slightly below the 5.5 million found in 1990.

According to the 2000 US Census, the total US population was 281,421,906, an increase

of 13.2% over the total enumerated during the 1990 Census.

The ratio of the 2001 NJPS to the 2000 US Census was 5.2 million / 281.4 million, or 0.01848,

equivalent to

1.85 percent of the US population. (rounded)
