States with the most active hate groups
Reported hate crime incidents surged across America's 10 largest cities in 2023, according to January 2024 preliminary data from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. Notably, those numbers include increased reports of antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes, both of which occurred in larger numbers in the final quarter of 2023 after the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October. The Council on American-Islamic Relations recorded an all-time high of anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2023, and anti-Muslim hate groups are also gaining traction across the country.
However, the overall number of active hate groups hasn't seen the same trend. Despite the fact that the actions of extremist groups—including those that instigated and participated in the Jan. 6 capitol insurrection—seem more visible than ever before, the number of active hate groups in the U.S. has been declining since 2018.
The decrease of hate groups active over the past several years does not, in fact, signal the diminishing influence of hate-fueled and extremist ideology, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks hate and extremist groups in the U.S. Instead, it indicates that public opinion on the mobilizing doctrines of these groups has undergone a significant shift: once considered fringe by the vast majority of Americans, far-right extremist ideology has begun to move into the mainstream.
This shift is far from unique to the U.S. Across the world, from France to India, increasingly far-right thinking has found footholds in more mainstream conservative politics through nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigrant policies, and calls for a return to "traditional values," a euphemism for the maintenance of white patriarchal power.
Hate groups are defined by unifying mission statements or doctrines that hinge on contempt for a group of people, often on the basis of race, religion, or sexuality. According to the Anti-Defamation League, a group with hate-motivated individuals does not necessarily make the organization a hate group; instead, the organization must have a purpose driven by hateful ideology. Extremist groups are sometimes differentiated from hate groups in that they are defined by beliefs or goals that are outside of the mainstream, but are not necessarily motivated by hatred of a particular group.
Stacker analyzed data compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center tracking active hate groups across the country. States are ranked according to active hate groups per million residents in 2021. Most of the hate groups in the U.S. are white power groups espousing Confederate or Nazi ideology, often utilizing symbolism from those movements.
