Many states in the western United States have areas with high concentrations of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).
-The state most well known for it's Mormon population is Utah, a state mostly settled by Mormon pioneers and home to the international headquarters of the Church. Approximately half of all Utahans are practicing Mormons, with many more (perhaps 30% or so) non-practicing or former Mormons. There are 17 Mormon Temples and 5,000 congregations in Utah.
-Idaho, specifically southeastern Idaho and the suburbs of Boise (cities of Meridian, Nampa, etc) in western Idaho, have high Mormon populations. Southeastern Idaho is home to a church-owned university, and there are 5 Temples and 1,100 congregations in Idaho.
-Arizona, specifically northern Arizona and the suburbs of Phoenix (cities of Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, etc). Arizona has 6 Temples and 836 congregations.(Together, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona make up what is sometimes called the "Mormon Curtain", a high concentration of Mormons stretching from the old Mormon colonies in northern Mexico to the old Mormon colonies in southern Canada.)
- Washington, specifically the tri-cities area (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco in the southeastern portion of the state). Washington has 3 Temples and 545 congregations.
-California has a fair amount of Mormons as well, with 7 temples, 1,355 congregations, and more missions than any other state (19).
-There are pockets with high Mormon concentrations in many other states, including Oregon, Wyoming, Missouri, Texas, New York, and Florida.
