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.
Answer
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."

Here is some info from Spaceweather.com
Space Weather News for August 9, 2007
http://spaceweather.com
The Perseid meteor shower has begun. Although the display will not
peak until
August 12th and 13th, sky watchers are already counting as many as a
dozen
meteors per hour (including some nice fireballs) during the darkest
hours before
dawn. Rates could increase 5- to 10-fold when the shower reaches
maximum on
Sunday night and Monday morning. Advice: Get away from city lights.
While many
Perseids will be bright enough to see from light-polluted urban
areas, the
shower's full grandeur is reserved for places with dark and starry
skies. This
is a good weekend to go camping.
Visit http://Spaceweather.com for photos, observing tips and a sky
map. Full
coverage of the shower begins today and will continue until Perseid
activity
subsides.
