Seattle Statistics

Here are some statistics I found today on Seattle...
  • 50.1% Female
  • 70.1% Caucasian
  • Average temperature in July - 75*F
  • Average temperature in January - 46*F
  • Estimated population in 2010: 3,641,200
  • 47.2% citizens have a BA or higher
  • 20 newspapers located and ciculated in Seattle
  • 40 radio stations
  • 162 libraries
  • 6,838 restaurants
  • 21.74% of population are between the ages of 25 and 34 years
  • Average household size is 2.08 people
Now here are some statistics which hurt my ears and make my heart pump faster...
  • Of protestant pastors, only 64% have a biblical worldview
  • 8% of the total population are evangelical (This is the same as China!)
  • 150,000 dogs vs. 136,000 evangelical christians
  • Washington and Oregon are the two least churched states in the US
  • Nationally there are 106 churches per 100,000 people. In Seattle there are only 66 churches per 100,000
