Which religious group in India has its highest urban population ?

According to the Census of India 2011, the Jain community is the most urbanized religious group in the country. Approximately 79.7% of the Jain population resides in urban areas, which is the highest proportion among all major religious groups in India.

The urbanization percentages for other religious groups are as follows:

• Buddhists (Bauddh): ~43.1%
• Christians: ~40.4%
• Muslims: ~39.9%
• Hindus: ~29.0%
• Sikhs: ~28.1%

The high degree of urbanization among Jains is traditionally attributed to their significant involvement in trade, commerce, and business sectors, which are predominantly centered in urban environments. While Hindus have the highest absolute number of urban dwellers due to their large population, the Jain community has the highest proportion of its members living in cities.
