But I have been keeping track from the printed LDS Almanac since 1995, the same year the church launched their web site.

Yellow shading is for a country whose membership surpassed another country since last year.
"2 yr. up / down" I calculate every other year to see which countries 2 yr growth is higher or lower than the last time, so this is 2010 vs 2008 2 year growth (57 of the countries growth rates were up, 43 were down)
Since the LDS US growth rate is more than double the generic US census growth rate, the %LDS in US is finally over 2.0 % !
Also Note that USA is ranked 12th in % LDS as shown in this 2nd table sorted by % LDS
