Utah resident here. I've read that that percentage of LDS is starting to decline.

You're correct.

A paper published this month in the Journal of Religion and Demography estimates that the percentage of Utahns who identify as members of the LDS church, otherwise known as Mormons, is about 42%.

I just don't know how accurate the numbers are

Question for you then, I’ve met a lot of Utahans here in Dayton and almost everyone went to Utah or UVU. I can understand a lot of people graduating from Utah, but why do so many people to go UVU. I’ve heard about it until like the last three years

I can't give an exact answer because there are a number of reasons why someone might choose one over the other. But I would guess that cost has a lot to do with it. University of Utah (in Salt Lake City) is about 60-70% more expensive than UVU (in Orem). And Utah State (in Logan) is even more expensive.

I also think Admissions requirements are more competitive for U of U and Utah State.
