On its Web site SGI-USA claims to have 330,000 American members and 71 community centers around the country. As with all religions, good data on membership are difficult to come by, and there is good reason to believe that the official estimate is inflated. Using a very strict definition of active membership and data on subscriptions to SGI-USA publications, Hammond and Machacek estimated there to be about 36,000 active American members.
