Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) make up a part of every state's population. Most states are about 1% Mormon, with western states often having higher Mormon populations and eastern states having lower Mormon populations.Mormons were among the very first white settlers in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Mormons have always made up a majority of the population in Utah, where the headquarters of the Church is located. Today about 60% of the residents of Utah are practicing Mormons, with 10-20% more being non-practicing Mormons and former Mormons.
Idaho has the second highest percentage of Mormons of any state. Utah, of course, has the highest. Utah has the largest number of Mormons, while California has the second highest number of Mormons. Idaho has the third highest number of Mormons.

Mormons settled much of the west. Church headquarters was built in Salt Lake City, but hundreds of towns all over Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, and California were settled by Mormons.
