Tables of Local Spiritual Assemblies by Area Teaching Committee regions as assigned at the end of the Ten Year Crusade inside the continental United States
Tables of Local Spiritual Assemblies by Area Teaching Committees as assigned at the end of the Ten Year Crusade inside the continental United States. These counts were performed against the literal/cited list of assemblies posted towards the bottom. Generally, the South and West Coast regions gained strength in terms of number of assemblies relative to the average distribution and the Midwest and Northeast regions lost relative to the average, while overall every region grew, some more than others. For a narrative review of the progress during the Plan see the intranational growth of Local Spiritual Assemblies during the Ten Year Crusade in the continental United States.

Summary[edit]
From the above table a number of summary statistics are possible to be deduced directly.
About 143 communities with assemblies maintained status through the plan. About as many as that achieved assembly status despite not being a goal community. 24 communities that were assemblies failed by the end of the plan though there was active concerns for restoring lost assemblies during the plan.[6][7] About three times that number achieved assembly status from being a goal community but almost twice *that* number were goal communities that did not achieve assembly status. Overall, this goal of the plan for the continental US to reach 300 assemblies succeeded mostly because of communities that achieved assembly status without being a goal, after preserving the vast majority of the communities that had already achieved assembly status, topped off by the fact that more goal communities achieved assembly status than those that started as assemblies and failed.
There were 13 Area Teaching Committee regions by the end of the plan. Across them some their kept assemblies dominated the regions and added some goal and or new assemblies by 'dispersing' and finding opportunities for growth, while others led by growth in goals but most of them grew on the basis of dispersing of Bahá'ís to new communities. Some areas barely grew while others grew significantly. One way to examine this is to look at the 13 regions and see what percent of the community they represented at the start and end of the plan and one can see which regions grew relative to how big they were at the beginning:
| regions of ATCs | % of 1953 community | % of 1963 community | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central | 19 | 14 | -5 |
| Central Atlantic | 5 | 4 | -1 |
| East Central | 10 | 10 | 0 |
| Tennessee Valley | 3 | 2 | -1 |
| Gulf | 2 | 3 | 1 |
| New England | 6 | 5 | -1 |
| North Central | 14 | 8 | -6 |
| Northwestern | 7 | 10 | 3 |
| Rocky Mountain | 4 | 4 | 0 |
| South Atlantic | 2 | 7 | 5 |
| South Central | 3 | 3 | 0 |
| Southwestern | 24 | 29 | 5 |
As a result one can easily see that the relative growth of the Southwestern region was equaled by the relative growth of the South Atlantic taken alone, followed by the South Atlantic and Gulf regions, whereas the Central and North Central regions' relative growth was least. Both the Southwest and Atlantic regions grew most in places that were not goal communities or previously existed. However both were also dominated by strong states in which this pattern happened - Florida and California. For the Southwestern this was directly extended north along the coast to the Northwestern region.
Taken state by state California led all examples of these overall patterns of many new assemblies that were not goals, loosing few assemblies, and ending far stronger than they were at the start. They broke the curve, so to speak. The next top five states that gained total assemblies were Florida, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Washington state but Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Washington were the states with the most assemblies gained that were not goals. Some states across the South that started very weak clearly gained strength - South and North Carolina especially but also somewhat true of Georgia and Missouri. Most states gained a few assemblies and lost fewer though some maintained numbers or were only close to maintaining their number. Pennsylvania faired the worst being the only state that lost total number assemblies, starting with 4 and ending with 2.
All this was in an overall context of the US sending about 400 pioneers across the plan to the international goals,[11] almost half of whom were women,[12] facing the least familiar circumstances, including Knights of Bahá'u'lláh, from the US. Perhaps it may be thought of as sending the most determined promulgators of the religion out of the country.
