I'm looking for religious demographics for SLC, UT. Specifically, what percentage are Mormon?

Please provide reference if you have it. I'd love to find the same fact about Denver, CO.

Thanks folks, have a great Christmas.

I'm pretty sure the person above me is incorrect, but cannot find exact statistics for you. But I did find a news article about the Mormon population of Utah in general.

"According to statistics provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Utah's LDS population has continued to shrink over the past 18 years -- and the latest estimate says currently less than 61 percent of the state is Mormon."

"...the declining Mormon presence in Salt Lake County might not come as a total surprise. For decades, Salt Lake City has been largely Democratic and fairly accepting to social issues like homosexuality. The fact that members of a highly conservative religious group like the LDS church are declining in numbers given such a liberal environment certainly makes sense."

In Salt Lake City, the percentage is a little lower than the state of Utah as a whole.

Salt Lake 57%
Utah 75%
