It gets even better... Here's from the "About" page on that site:
Delete"Synagogues and Chabad Centers: The figures for the number of synagogues are based on the number of active houses of worship affiliated with the four main streams of Jews in America: the Union of Reform Jewry (URJ), United Synagogue of Conservative Jewry (USCJ), the Orthodox Union (OU), and Reconstructionist Judaism. The count does not include the synagogues, shtiblach, and batei midrash of the extremely diverse and insular Ultraorthodox sector. Some independent congregations and humanistic congregations that hold regular services have also been counted."
They include counties for states like Virginia too. I am sure the study is not really interested in us but there is also no way to count the number of shuls in our kehollos.
