Methods and limits
Texas Muslim selected fields from the existing source-backed corpus, retained each record’s source and checked date, and exported the result without inferring missing values. The compilation and field arrangement are ours; source material remains governed by its original publisher’s terms.
- The observations use different methods and reference periods and are not a clean time series.
- Legislative estimates are statements in introduced documents, not a new census.
- Directory snapshots count displayed listings, not all operating mosques or centers.
