Changes in information-seeking for churches. Sparklines show Google searches for “church + churches” (obtained using the Google Trends API for search) for all states in the USA. Dark line indicates searches in 2020 and lighter lines 2010–2019. Percent increases are comparing Sunday search volume in 2020 to Sunday volumes in 2010–2019. Map on bottom left shows the percent increases as displayed in the sparklines. Bottom right plot shows a 14-day running coefficient of variation of searches for “church + churches.” 2020 saw significant increases in the coefficient of variation that have remained elevated since the US national emergency declaration (March 13th, dashed vertical line)
