Purpose: To better inform the public - mormons and non-mormons alike - of mormon ideas, trends, and demographic movements backed with the best data available. Generally, I utilize quality survey datasets such as GSS, NationScape, and the CES. At times, I will also scrape data from public sources to find insights.

I try to analyze and describe not persuade and prescribe.

This information is disseminated in a weekly blog out on Friday mornings usually with a new data figure to talk about.

Contact & Feedback: Reach me at my email hello@alexbass.me. Hire me if you like! Also, I love hearing feedback from readers. Happy to hear your ideas of good future Mormon Metrics posts / data sources or anything else on your mind. If you want to write your own piece, I welcome contributors. Pitch it to me and if it's aligned with the platform, the stage is yours!

About me: I am an applied social scientist and data scientist. I have an undergraduate degree in political science and a masters in data science. I have worked at two political polling firms and, more recently, as a contracted data scientist for Meta.

Terminology: Some latter-day saints may be concerned because my title isn’t the correct name of the church. However, this blog is about the entirety of the Mormon sect including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Community of Christ, and others. So, in reference to the name of the sect, I use the name “Mormon” in my blog and hence the title “Mormon Metrics.”

More content: If you are looking for more Mormon Metrics content, I post weekly video shorts on Instagram, charts on X/Twitter, and the occasional Youtube upload.
