# Interactive Data Table: World Muslim Population by Country

For information about how data for each country or territory were collected and analyzed, see [Data Sources by Region](/docs/?DocID=478). Sources include national censuses, demographic and health surveys, and other general population surveys and studies. Population figures for previous years have been projected forward to 2009 based on the assumption that the Muslim population of the country is growing at the same rate as the general population. (See [Methodology for Muslim Population Estimates](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2009/10/07/mapping-the-global-muslim-population19/).)
