It is pretty much impossible to count how many polygamists are in Utah because polygamy is illegal and most polygamists try to hide from the government. Their marriages are not legal and therefore not counted, and in the census all parties are considered single parents. It has been estimated that there are a few thousand polygamists in Utah, most of them living in small towns in central and southern Utah, but there are some living in the suburbs of Salt Lake City.

Here are some places where polygamists are quite common in Utah:*Hilldale (nearly all residents are members of the FLDS church)*Manti and Ephraim (headquarters of the TLC polygamist group)*Bluffdale (headquarters of the AUB, a few smaller groups, and many independent fundamentalists - Lehi, Eagle Mountain, Herriman, and other neighboring cities also have pretty high polygamist populations)*Rocky Ridge (small town, nearly all residents are members of the AUB)*The area of Beryl and Modena is home to a polygamist group of about 200 people.There are polygamist pockets scattered all over the suburbs of Salt Lake City, and many small Utah towns have pretty high polygamist populations.
