Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL), September 2015 survey.
"A September 2015 survey sent to the 114 episcopal conferences around the world indicated that there are around 4,000 consecrated virgins in the Catholic Church, living in at least 78 countries. (It is worth noting that less than half— 42%— of the countries known to have consecrated virgins responded to the survey, so the actual numbers are likely higher.)"
