About 5,000 to 6,000.
This is base on the LDS population in Utah of 1,823,613
There are 300 to 500 members in each ward.
400/1,823,613=4,559
300/1,823,613=6,078
Another way to get the answer is there is 523 stakes in Utah. My stake has 8 wards. 523 X 8 = 4,184.
The telephone book for Utah County has about 1,200 wards.
Based on that figure with the 4 major counties (Utah, Davis, Weber and Salt Lake) then the rest of the state. You would times 5 = 6,000
So between 5,000 & 6,000 is about right.
This depends on if by 'church' you mean meetinghouse buildings or congregations. The number of both is changing on almost a weekly basis as new buildings are being built and new congregations are being formed, but we can get a good estimate this way: There are 170 stakes in the Salt Lake Valley (by adding up the stakes in the Salt Lake, Jordan River, Draper, and Oquirrh Mountain Temple districts). A stake in the Salt Lake Valley generally has 3 buildings with 3 congregations meeting in each building. Most stakes have 3 buildings, some have 2 and some have 4. So if by churches you mean buildings, 170 stakes x 3 buildings each is 510 church buildings. Most stakes have 9 congregations, some have as few as 7 while others have as many as 12. So if by churches you mean congregations, 170 stakes x 9 congregations each is 1530 LDS congregations. So, in the Salt Lake Valley, there are 170 Stakes, approximately 510 church buildings, and approximately 1530 congregations.

The Perpetual Immigration Fund was how many Mormon pioneers funded their trip to Utah.
In some places, yes, but not on every block in the whole state! There are so many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) in Utah that there are 5,000 congregations in the state! Since there isn't nearly enough land to hold that many church buildings, most church buildings in Utah house 3 or 4 congregations of about 300-400 members each. The congregations share the building by meeting at different times. Most of the time, one congregation will be in Sunday School while another congregation is using the sanctuary/chapel for their main worship service. You can see the "Related Links" below to see some places in Utah where there are multiple churches near each other.
Dia from The Voice is from Utah but has not said what her religion is.
It is difficult to provide an exact percentage of LDS members that attend Utah Valley University as specific data on religious affiliation is not typically tracked by universities. However, given UVU's location in Utah and the predominant LDS population in the state, it is likely that a significant portion of the student body identifies as LDS.

I am not sure what you mean. The Mormon's went west in 1847 and lived a relative peaceful existence in the American West. The LDS Church was established in Utah and flourished and spread across the American West to include all the western states. Today the LDS Church has as of 2010: 14,131,467 members worldwide 134 Temples 4 Universities & Colleges 28,660 Congregations 52,483 Missionaries
Utah is home to the most temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) with 16 (three of which are under construction as of July 2012). Other states with a lot of temples are California (7 temples), Arizona (5 temples), Idaho (5 temples), Texas (4 temples), and Washington (3 temples). Most other states have one or two. 15 states do not yet have temples of their own. Please note that Mormon Temples are different than churches/meetinghouses. Mormon Temples are only for special ceremonies, but meetinghouses are where regular Sunday worship is held. Utah has between 2,000 and 3,000 meetinghouses, each housing from 1 to 4 congregations. California and Idaho have the next highest numbers, with about 400-500 meetinghouses each.
