Statistics on religious membership?

[AJV]

Does anyone know where one can get statistics about different Catholic religious communities (both male and female religious) in the USA? Such as which are the largest, the number of new entrants, people in the novitiate, postulancy, etc. My first thought was CARA but skimming through their website, they dont appear to have anything up that’s free…

Here are the Catholic figures for 2010:

(Examine the links at the bottom of the page. The PDF document will be what you’re looking for.)

Here is the data shown at a county-by-county level on maps.

Here is the data for 2000, 1990, and 1980 if you want to compare:

Thanks Rolltide. Sorry, I should’ve been a little more specific: I’m looking for data on religious brothers/sisters/priests/nuns - basically, information for religious orders, congregations and societies of apostolic life.

I expect the Kennedy Directory should contain such statistics.
