That's the lead from this MSNBC story--driven by the rising cost of farm land, Amish are now in Colorado.
A professor is quoted as saying the average size of their families is 7 children, meaning a doubling every 20 years. (I would have thought more.)
That means:
230,000 Amish in 2009
460,000 in 2029
1 million in 2049
2 million in 2069
4 million in 2089
8 million in 2109
