My little town in the US has 50,000 people last I checked.
We have a church on every corner it seems. I think most of them are virtually empty on Sundays. We couldn't fill-up all these churches - even if we had 100% attendance. I suspect the churches stay open so the landowner can avoid paying property taxes until the lot is sold to a developer.
According to churchfinder.com we have 63 churches (1 per 800 residents):
26 Baptist
8 Catholic
4 Lutheran
4 Methodist
3 Episcopal
8 "Spirit Filled"
10 "Other"
We also have a 2 synagogues and 1 mosque.
