I don't know where it is.

I don't know of any complete compilation of data, but Cheverus posted recently on an article in Catholic World Report lising the American dioceses in order of number of vocations per 100,000 (I think) Catholics. He said it wasn't on the 'net, and the only thing I remember is that Boston was 162 out of 174. (Yes, I'm in Boston.)

If he could identify the back issue, you might be able to get a copy.

“Crisis Magazine” , before it ceased publishing and went on-line exclusively, had a yearly exhaustive analysis of vocations and "State of Being" for each diocese. The more orthodox a diocese the better the diocese did with number of vocations. The data is now provided on the Inside Catholic website.
The logic provided by the one who alleges her poll validates the contention for woman priests is terminally flawed. These polls just mention Catholics favor this or that. However, looking behind the statistics, one must differentiate between the Catholics who regularly attend Mass and those who attend occasionally. You would notice a world of difference in the opinions of these two groups. Yet, the dissemination of this propaganda rarely demonstrates the intellectually honesty of making such a distinction
