There are at least 250,000 UUs in the US, although the US Census says 
that more than 3 times that many identify themselves as UU.  :-)

At Manzanita Village Cohousing, about 40% of the residents are UU.  
When we build our home there this year, we'll add 2 more.  The local UU 
congregations include folks who worked on Manzanita Village early on 
but are no longer involved actively.
