My occupation is a statistician. I tell people it is like "CSI without dead bodies" because analyzing a set of data that has been collected is like doing an autopsy on a deceased person in the sense that I'm trying to learn what I can from what statistics and information are available. Except in this case the information does not involve gross things. For me the research process can be humorous, scary, but always captivating.

Adjusting for the US population, there were 2.86 groups per million in 2019 which was down from 3.12 groups per million in 2018.
For Pennsylvania, the number of hate groups that they are tracking has remained steady at 36 from 2017 to 2019. The population adjusted adjusted numbers has remained steady at 2.81 groups per million residents which has been consistently less than the national rate. Among the states and the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania ranks 29 in hate groups per million.
