Best Answer

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not keep any records related to the race of it's members, so there is no way to know. In most areas, Church membership reflects the general population, so the largest African American Mormon populations are probably in areas where there are large numbers of African Americans (the Southern states and large cities such as New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Chicago)

What percentage of the US population is Morman?

Approximately 2% of Americans are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church). The concentration of Mormons is much higher in the western US than in the east. For example, in Utah, about 60% of the population is Mormon. Arizona is 6% Mormon, Washington state is 4% Mormon, and Wyoming is 11% Mormon. Compare these numbers to east coast states, such as New Jersey (0.4% Mormon), New Hampshire (0.6% Mormon) and Alabama (0.7% Mormon).


How many African American Mormons are there?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) does not specify race on it's membership records, and therefore it would be nearly impossible to tell. You may want to try to contact the Genesis Group (a church-sponsored group for black Church members based in Salt Lake City) or the people at blackLDS.org, they might have a pretty accurate idea. Please note, however, that these groups are intended for all black members of the Church, not just African Americans. Links are provided below under "Related Links".

How did the Mormon trail change the American west?

The Mormon Trail didn't change the American West, because the Mormon Trail was next to the Oregon Trail. Another answer: The Mormon Trail followed the Oregon Trail until it hit Fort Bridger, Wyoming. There the Mormon Trail split off down toward where Salt Lake City, Utah is today. The largest change the Mormon Trail did to change the American West is bring a large influx of people into the American West. People who were willing to try to settle the desert areas in Utah and Idaho that no one else wanted to touch. It also helped solidify a trail that lead was a main stopping point for people headed to Oregon or California. People traveling on either the Oregon or California Trails would go to Salt Lake City and resupply before continuing their journey west, usually rejoining the trails around the southern central part of Idaho right near the Idaho-Utah border.

How come there are not any Afro Americans in the Mormon tabernacle choir?

I believe there are currently three African Americans in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, one female and two males. The reason why the number is so few is because to be in the Choir you must live within a half hours commute of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City - the black or African American population in that area ranges from 0.1% to 1%. The number of African Americans in the choir reflects that - with the 360 members of the Choir, if 3 of them are black, the percentage is about 0.75%. In short, the number of blacks or African Americans in the Mormon Tabernacle choir is simply a reflection of how few live in the area.


Why haven't there been any Mormon presidents?

Stastically speaking, it isn't surprising that none of the presidents of the United States have been members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). Only about 2% of the American population is Mormon, and the number of Mormons as a percentage of the population has only recently hit that high, it used to be much much less.

What is Nevada Mormon population?

In 2012, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) reported 176,307 baptized members living in the state of Nevada. Since the population of Nevada is about 2.7 million, this means that approximately 0.7% of the population of Nevada is Mormon.


What was the Mormon population of Salt Lake City in 2004?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not release membership statistics for cities, only for states. So we don't know exact the Mormon population of Salt Lake City in 2004, but it was probably around 30-40%. The city itself has quite a low Mormon population compared to the rest of the state.
