1. Currently, there are 200 households and 460 member records in the ward.
2. Our "% members attending sacrament meeting" from the quarterly report is at 46% for the third quarter. There are roughly 200 people at sacrament meeting each week.
A ward clerk would be the best source of this information.
P.S. I was recently (October 29, 2013) called by a man in "my" ward asking me to provide dinner for some sister missionaries. My reply was that I had sent in a resignation letter to church headquarters in Salt Lake City in March of 1995.
So I assume I am still listed as a "member" on their rolls. I think even if you are put in a "no contact" file, those desperate bastards will STILL claim you are a member.
Amazingly, as a TBM rotating through a few "ward council" callings, I didnt even question our methods of maximizing %'s. We claimed to have home taught hundreds of people who were DNCs based on the principle thats the maximum contact theyd tolerate...none...so duty fulfilled.
I was...I guess. I kept getting automated calls about all kinds of ward goings on and $hit even after I resigned. So I called the bish, whom I've never met and asked if he could stop all contact. So he did and was very cordial about it.

Worst ward I ever saw was Fort Pierce, Florida (can't recall if it was named Ft. Pierce or Port St. Lucie). Over 600 names on the roster, fewer than 75 attending on Sunday.
My ward in Alpine is growing as houses get built, but there's no real organic growth.
The last time I was in a position to see the real numbers with my own eyes, the ward I was in had over 800 names on the list with an average sacrament meeting attendance of less than 100. In reality, there were about 20 people keeping the ward afloat and trying not to keel over from exhaustion.
