The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not publish membership statistics for any area smaller than a state. However, I do know that the Salt Lake City metro area has many more Mormons (both in actual numbers and percentage) than the Boise metro area. I would assume, with Salt Lake City proper having a higher population and being the headquarters of the Church, that it has more Mormons than Boise.
There are more Mormons living in Salt Lake City than in Park City. While both cities are quite liberal by Utah standards and have lower percentages of Mormons than the rest of northern Utah, Salt Lake City has more.
It depends on whether you want the actual city population or metro population.
Boise: city 205,314; metro 587,689
Salt Lake City: city 181,698; metro 1,115,692
