 In 2026 a study published in The Journal of Plain Anabaptist Communities summarized the first attempt at a detailed census of Hutterites, based on a 2024 Hutterite-published directory. The total population of Hutterites was 58,392 in 544 colonies in North America. The number of colonies had grown 12.6% from 483 in 2009 to 544 in 2024. The Lehrerleut, the smallest of the three groups, added the most colonies in the last 15 years, growing by 16.5% to 162 colonies. The Dariusleut grew by 20 to 179 colonies, and the Schmiedeleut grew by 16 to 195 colonies. The census also indicated that the Lehrerleut had 18 colonies in formation, the Dariusleut 10, and the Schmiedeleut 11.
