SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Residents of Utah who belong to the Mormon church make up 60.7 percent of the state's population, the lowest share ever.
The percentage has declined every year for nearly two decades, according to membership numbers supplied by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The numbers, along with statistics from school districts, the Internal Revenue Service and other sources, helped state officials last week when they estimated Utah's population at 2.69 million, as of July.
