The Last average estimated I heard, was are around 300,000 members and growing.

But because of centuries of intermarrying, there is the compounding factor of genetic diseases, which some theorize will cause a collapse of Amish people in near generations to come.

What is the Amish crime rate?

Most crimes are not reported, it imposable to even give a estimate, or even give a good guess! Because the Amish do not have as many legal and illegal vices, I believe from some of my own limited few experience with them, there are less minor misdemeanor crimes. But from what I have heard as rumors, and the fact that there is no serous punishment for serous and repeat offenses, I can only assume as much or more serous felony crimes occur that elders cover up. The Amish have a very high rate of child farm accidents, there has always been a debate whether these Amish parents, should be held more responsible which they are not by their Amish community or elders.
