Question

According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2020, the Jewish population of the United States is around 2% of the total population, which is an estimated 7.5 million people. While this is not a tiny percentage, it is still a relatively small minority group in the country. Option A is incorrect because the United States has the third-largest Jewish population in the world, after Israel and France. Option C is also incorrect because the Jewish population of the U.S. is not actually growing, but rather shrinking due to a combination of low birth rates, intermarriage, and aging. Option D is incorrect because the U.S. Jewish population is highly concentrated in urban and suburban areas, with relatively few Jews living in rural areas.
