Published estimates with the same units. Small bounded estimates are not substituted as exact values. This is a descriptive comparison.
Published weighted responses among Muslim adults aged 18+, Q31 and the published Q32 subtotal; not shares of all residents or all-age population counts. Chart year is the fieldwork end year; exact dates are in the table. Fourteen African samples date to 2008–2009 and the remaining samples to 2011–2012. Sunni/Shia self-identification differs from Pew’s 2009 ethnographic classification: “just a Muslim” is not reassigned to either. Zero is a rounded survey answer, not proof of an absent community. Ahmadiyya, Alevi, Bektashi and Aliran Kepercayaan are volunteered (VOL.) responses. Sufi affiliation is a separate question and overlaps Sunni/Shia identities; do not add it to Q31. Thailand covers only five southern provinces and is a region, never a country chart point. Chad and DR Congo samples are disproportionately urban; some countries exclude inaccessible areas. Several major Muslim populations, including India, Iran and Saudi Arabia, were not surveyed. No world total can be inferred.
