Small? Don't the Lubavitchers run the worldwide Chabad Houses? And wasn't Ivanka converted by a Lubavitch rabbi?

From Wikipedia: “In 2018, Marcin Wodziński estimated the total number of Chabad households globally between 16,000 and 17,000, accounting for 13% of the global Hasidic population.”
In the global scheme, pretty small. Collected together, that’s a city of, what, 60,000 or so?

n 1951, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson formally accepted the leadership as the seventh Chabad Rebbe. He transformed the movement into one of the most widespread Jewish movements in the world today. Under his leadership, Chabad established a large network of institutions that seek to satisfy religious, social and humanitarian needs across the world.[8] Chabad institutions provide outreach to unaffiliated Jews and humanitarian aid, as well as religious, cultural and educational activities. Before and after his death in 1994, Schneerson has been believed by some of his followers to be the Messiah, with his own position on the matter debated among scholars. Messianic ideology in Chabad sparked controversy in various Jewish communities and is still an unresolved matter. Following his death, no successor was appointed as a new central leader.
In 2018, Marcin Wodziński estimated the total number of Chabad households globally between 16,000 and 17,000, accounting for 13% of the global Hasidic population.[1] The number of those who sporadically or regularly attend Chabad events is far larger; in 2005 the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs reported that up to one million Jews attend Chabad services at least once a year.[9][10] In a 2020 study, the Pew Research Center found that 16% of American Jews participated in Chabad services or activities at least semi-regularly.[11]
