Neither of your explanations make any sense to me.

Non-Mormon Utahns have a higher foreclosure rate than Mormon.

You guys seem to want to lay the blame on Mormons, whereas I see the blame lies on Utanhs in general.

(Of whom about 60% are Mormon!)

Uh, slightly higher.

So, "math class" if I tell you:

X & Y are very low #s (high foreclosure rates even in Utah are just over 4 per 1,000 -- just over .4% per year)
and: X is a "slightly higher" number than Y -- IOW, one might be .43 and the .40
and then ask you, which of the following are higher,
60 x Y...(like 60 x .40)
...or 40 x X...(like 40 x .43)
Which number will be higher???

How 'bout understanding it now?

Non-Mormon Utahns have a higher foreclosure rate than Mormon.

How MUCH more?

The statistics say that 3 out of 5 Utahans are Mormon.

Is the NON-Mormon forclosure rate 50% more than the MORMON one?

That's what it would HAVE to be just to EQUAL the same NUMBER of MORMON foreclosures statewide.

Of course you are right - it IS the Utahans in general; but...

Mormons make up 60% of them!
