Introduction
The Mormon population in the United States varies greatly from state to state. Utah has the highest concentration of Mormon adherents, with 66% of the population identifying as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other states in the West, such as Idaho and Wyoming, have a much smaller percentage – approximately 20% and 10%, respectively – while other regions around the country have relatively low concentrations. For example, Maine and Rhode Island have Mormon populations that make up less than 1% of the total population. It’s worth noting that in some states with lower numbers, such as New Mexico (1%) or North Carolina (4%), there are entire counties where Mormons make up more than half the population. In fact, one county in Idaho has a staggering 81% Mormon inhabitants. On the other hand, certain states are practically devoid of Mormons altogether; these include Connecticut (less than 0.1%), Delaware (less than 0.1%), and New Hampshire (0.2%). While Utah is home to an overwhelming majority of Mormons, these figures demonstrate that there is no single region in which they all congregate: Mormonism is a faith present throughout all fifty states, albeit at varying levels depending on location.

State With Most Mormons
The state of Utah is home to the highest concentration of Latter-day Saints in the United States, with an estimated 2,161,526 members of the religious group living within its borders. This figure represents around 66% of the state’s population and makes Utah the most heavily Mormon state in the nation by a significant margin; both Idaho and Wyoming, which come in at second and third place respectively, have far fewer Latter-day Saint adherents with populations of around 20 and 10%. As a result, Mormons make up such a substantial percentage of Utah that their influence pervades many aspects of everyday life there. In fact, Latter-day Saints account for more than two-thirds of all missionaries serving abroad from America’s western states and are also responsible for several iconic sites throughout the region including Temple Square in Salt Lake City and This Is The Place Heritage Park outside Ogden. Furthermore, Mormonism has played a historically integral role in shaping Utah’s cultural identity as evidenced by its local cuisine (e.g., funeral potatoes), strong sense of community service (e.g., Pioneer Day celebrations) and penchant for self-sufficiency (e.g., horticulture).

Utah is home to the largest population of Mormons in the United States, with over 2.1 million members. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was founded in 1830 in upstate New York, but it was not until 1847 that Brigham Young led a group of pioneers and established Salt Lake City, Utah as their new home. This move began a massive influx of members into Utah, helping to make it one of the most religiously hom*ogeneous states in the United States today. In addition to its large Mormon population, Utah also has a significant community of other faiths, including Catholicism, Islam, and Buddhism among others.
