96% of Hareidim and 77% of MO believe in G-d with absolute certainty. (Compared with 41% and 29% of Conservatives and Reform, respectively.)

60% of Hareidim and 55% of MO are Republicans.

25% of Hareidim and 65% of MO have college degrees.

90% of Hareidim live in the Northeast and 1% live out West.

75% of Hareidim and 48% of MO are married by age 25.

97% of Hareidim and 65% of MO say all (or most) of their friends are Jewish.
