Rough estimates place the number of Druze:

390,000 in Lebanon,
420,000 in Syria,
75,000 in Palestine,
15,000 in Jordan, and
about 80,000 scattered around the rest of the world, mostly in North America, Australia, and West Africa.

The American Druze Society estimates the number of Druze in the United States at between 15,000 and 20,000.

About sixty-five thousand Druzes now live in Latin America, especially in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Buenos Aries, and Mexico, with smaller communities in Chile and Colombia. 

There are also about 20 thousand Druzes in Australia, the West Indies and the Philippines, as well as in Africa.

In the United States of America and in Canada, the Druzes are estimated about 35 thousand.

In Europe, there are about 30 thousand Druzes.
