I’d like to know exactly what percentage of the population of Utah is Mormon. I’ve heard that it is 60%, but someone said that it has gone down in recent years. It’s for one of my daughter’s school projects. Thank you very much.
Hi friend. According to the official church website, there are 1,975,939 Mormons living in Utah (including some who choose not to attend church regularly). The United States Census Bureau says there are 2,943,000 people who live in Utah. That's 67.1%.
It is true that the percentage of Mormons in Utah has been on the decline, but the absolute number of Mormons is very much increasing. The Utah missions are among the highest baptizing in the church. I've heard the percentage has dropped because Utah's economy was largely unaffected by recent financial crises, so there has been a lot of "non-Mormon" immigration.
