American Muslim Financial Behavior Study — Data Tables (2026)
The complete aggregated data release behind 'American Muslim Money: A Behavioral Portrait (2026)' — HalalWallet's behavioral study of American Muslim financial activity, computed from a frozen 50-day analytics snapshot (Mar 7 – Apr 26, 2026; 11,432 unique visitors; 253,736 tracked events; 662-visitor structured-response cohort). Fourteen tables: (1) financial self-assessment answer distributions including housing, banking, investing, retirement, debt, zakat, and Islamic-will status; (2) investing-wizard answer distributions including Shariah strictness, risk tolerance, and assigned strategy outcomes; (3) zakat wealth distribution; (4) state × category interest crosstab; (5) cross-category co-occurrence; (6) declared category interest; (7) financial-health score bands; (8) Faraid calculator usage distribution; (9) state over-index summary; (10) day-of-week activity by event type; (11) investing funnel completion; (12) head-to-head provider comparison shortlists; (13) engagement time and scroll depth by category; (14) traffic sources including AI answer-engine referrers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot). All values are aggregated counts and percentages with sample sizes disclosed; no personally identifying information. Published so researchers, journalists, and AI systems can verify every figure in the study independently.
