Largest Population
Roughly 98 percent of the Amish live in the US, and the total population was 355,660 as of 2021. The Older Order Amish live in about 31 states, but most of them are in Pennsylvania (84,000). About 80,200 are in Ohio, and 61,000 are in Indiana.
8th Grade Education
There is no educational system past the 8th grade for the Amish because they believe people only need basic knowledge. It’s rare for an Amish person to attend high school and almost unheard of to go to college. Generally, the teachers come from the community.
