Amish people generally live in settlements far away from large towns, so that they might enjoy their simple lifestyle in peace. The highest concentration of Amish people is in Ohio, followed shortly by Pennsylvania and Indiana.

It may be better to ask what states do the Amish not live in.

The number of states where Amish live increases continuously, for the Amish believe that God commands them to have large families.

Most Amish communities are in the Northeastern states of the United States, but they also have spread throughout the grain belt states.

Anywhere Mennonites live, and they live in ever state except Alaska and maybe Hawaii, Amish are soon to follow nearby, since they are related traditions.
