Here is TFR to 2023. You can see Utah has converged in absolute terms with the rest of the country (and has gone from highest TFR to about 8th). Since Utah County is falling at same rate as the state (above), it's probably not driven by composition/falling LDS share in Utah.
I'm seeing a decline from 3.99 to 3.76 for family size among married couples between 2010 and 2024 for Utah County. The numbers I had for TFR are dated but there was a steep decline in Utah County between 2015 and 2020. Partly a tempo effect (births shifting to later ages).
