Striking findings from 2022

Here’s a look back at the past year and some of its biggest news events through 15 of our most striking research findings.

Pew Research Center
Today, 41% of Americans say none of their purchases in a typical week are paid for using cash. This is up from 29% in 2018 and 24% in 2015.

Christians may be a minority of the US population by 2070.

Depending on whether religious switching continues at recent rates, speeds up or stops entirely, #PewResearch projections show Christians of all ages shrinking from 64% to somewhere between 54% and 35% of all Americans by 2070. Over that same period, “nones” would rise from their current 30% of the population to somewhere between 34% and 52%.

Modeling the Future of Religion in America

Since the 1990s, large numbers of Americans have left Christianity to join the growing ranks of U.S. adults who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” If recent trends in religious switching continue, Christians could make up less than half of the U.S. population within a few decades.

77% of Black Americans – compared with 18% of White Americans – support reparations for descendants of enslaved people.

Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, views are split: 48% say descendants of enslaved people should be repaid in some way, while 49% say they should not. Only 8% of Republicans and GOP leaners say these descendants should be repaid in some way, and 91% say they should not.

US: 33% of TikTok's adult users regularly get news on the platform, up from 22% two years ago. News consumption on many other social media sites has either decreased or stayed about the same in recent years.

53% of Twitter users regularly get news on the site, which is higher than the share of users who get news from Facebook, Reddit, or YouTube.

US: The size of the gap between how Republicans and Democrats view the Supreme Court is larger than it has ever been in more than three decades of polling.

73% of Republicans view the Supreme Court favorably
28% of Democrats view the Supreme Court favorably

Transgender or nonbinary US adults, among those age
18-29: 5.1%
30-49: 1.6%
50+: 0.3%

44% of US adults personally know someone who is trans.
20% know someone who is nonbinary.

In focus groups with trans and nonbinary adults, most participants said they knew from an early age – many as young as preschool or elementary school – that there was something different about them, even if they didn’t have the words to describe what it was.

@conradhackett there is a huge “dark number” or “confounding variable” in the data lag for older populations due to different attitudes, more entrenched lifes that make coming out harder, less awareness and ability to self-identify as such.

Thus I think it's irresponsible to represent these finding the way you do as it suggest an increase in the population segment, if that was actually the case, the study would have needed a methodology that focused more on loosely diagnosing rather than self assessment by the participants, like how was done with the famous “20% rape study”.

What was so brilliant was that this study was conducted by people with a strong understanding of sexual assault that via carefully thought out questions where able to discern whether or not people had been victims of sexual assault, without asking so outright, which helps account for the many people that are unaware, minimize, or have reasons not to disclose that information.

Without this disclaimer, this data might easily mislead about a vulnerable group desperately in need of objective and thorough coverage.
About 5% of young adults in the U.S. say their gender is different from their sex assigned at birth

1.6% of U.S. adults are transgender or nonbinary. Also, a rising share of Americans say they know someone who is transgender.

@conradhackett I'd have to read the survey closely and think about that, and I can't really allocate time to that currently without compensation, so beyond my previous answer I can't offer a concrete analysis that I would feel comfortable taking responsibility for
