Where can I find sources for historical data on Buddhist populations in various regions around the world?

There's the Maps of Ancient Buddhist Asia and History of Buddhism mentions some population figures for certain eras, but I don't know of any detailed census data particular to Buddhism prior to the last couple of centuries.

For recent data, there's the PEW Religious Affiliation Report

Hope this helps in some small way.
